Raffaello Carboni, an Italian exile working the Victorian goldfields, was among the diggers who took up arms against the licence-hunting authorities at Ballarat in December 1854. He tells the story of the stockade, the dawn assault by troopers and police, and his own imprisonment and trial for high treason, in a voluble, furious and highly personal English.
