John Macarthur by M.H. Ellis is a commanding work of historical biography that chronicles the life and legacy of one of Australia's most influential colonial figures. Positioned within the genre of political and economic history, the book presents Macarthur as a pioneering entrepreneur whose efforts in developing the wool industry laid the foundation for Australia's economic future. Ellis argues that Macarthur’s strategic acumen and relentless ambition shaped the early colony of New South Wales more than any other individual of his era. The narrative details his clashes with governors, his role in the Rum Rebellion, and his vision for pastoral expansion, painting a vivid portrait of a man who transformed personal enterprise into national impact. With over 600 pages of meticulous research and incisive commentary, Ellis illustrates how Macarthur’s legacy reverberates through the political and agricultural institutions of modern Australia.
