Hoddle Street: The Ambush and the Tragedy by Peter Haddow revisits the 1987 ambush that stunned Melbourne and reshaped Australian policing. This vintage 1998 paperback blends biography and true-crime history, tracing events from Clifton Hill to the courtroom in gripping, meticulously researched detail.

The 296-page narrative appeals to adults and young adults hooked on Australian crime, local history, and criminology. Strategic Australia's first edition is inscribed on the fly-leaf, adding collectible appeal for scholars of Melbourne crime stories.

The book shows gentle shelf wear—light cover scuffs and edge wear, plus a previous owner's penned name on the cover page. Otherwise pages are unmarked, corners crisp, binding tight, and the volume comes from a smoke-free home.

A readable, search-friendly keepsake for anyone studying or remembering the Hoddle Street incident, this copy offers both story and snapshot of late-90s Australian true-crime publishing.
