A work of Australian social fiction, "Southern Steel" sets a tightly wound drama of class conflict, family fracture, and wartime desire against the coal-fired industrial landscape of Newcastle, New South Wales, tracking three brothers divided by ambition, union loyalty, and the sea as the Pacific War closes in on Australia, and arguing, in Cusack's characteristically sharp register, that the steel city's rigid hierarchies of wealth and labour crush the lives of those who serve them as surely as any foreign enemy.
