Thus began his ascension to national hero: over the years, some Australians have managed to turn his disgrace into distinction, to the point where some are now seeking a British pardon for Morant. Workhouse-born Edwin Murrant, educated by the Freemasons, emigrated on a 1 passage to Australia at the age of nineteen and found work on a cattle station in Queensland. Murrant spent the next sixteen years in Australia as a bushman, balladeer and all-round chancer renowned for his riding skills. Changing his name to Harry Harbord Morant, he claimed to be the son of an admiral. At the start of the Anglo-Boer war he joined the army and went to South Africa, eventually becoming a lieutenant in the Bushveldt Carbineers, an irregular unit fighting in Northern Transvaal. Enraged by the death of a friend in battle, he instigated the murder of prisoners by way of revenge. A missionary who knew too much was also killed under suspicious circumstances. Arrested and tried, he was sentenced to death and shot. Australians suggest he did not have a fair go and was martyred by Lord Kitchener. Others remain fixed in their opinions: he took the law into his own hands and paid the ultimate price for his crimes. This intensively researched book, featuring a wealth of new information, reveals the truth behind the legend of Breaker Morant....747596Breaker Morant262363https://www.gandhi.com.mx/breaker-morant-1/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/588066/5b4a27fa-ca95-4d54-908c-8111a8af3616.jpg?v=638335413669430000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20169781445659664_W3siaWQiOiI0YWNmMDM1Ny0xZDJkLTRhYjctOGYwNC01NjI0MjE4YjBiMDIiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjM2MywiZGlzY291bnQiOjEwMSwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjoyNjIsImluY2x1ZGVzVGF4Ijp0cnVlLCJwcmljZVR5cGUiOiJXaG9sZXNhbGUiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6Ik1YTiIsImZyb20iOiIyMDI0LTA3LTExVDEzOjAwOjAwWiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6ZmFsc2V9XQ==9781445659664_Over 100 years ago Harry Harbord Morant (the Breaker) was shot by a firing squad in Pretoria.
