Alone on the Soaks

Description:

Alec Kruger was snatched from his mother at three, institutionalised for seven years and sent to work at ten. He was never paid and barely fed. Alec Kruger, a child of mixed Aboriginal descent, survived the loneliness and bullies of a stolen childhood to become a drover, an army recruit, footy player and a plaintiff in the High Court of Australia.
