Description

Fought over both land and sovereignty, the New Zealand Wars involved British, settlers and allied Maori fighting other Maori from 1845 to 1875, and by the late 1860s had really become a civil war. The New Zealand Wars makes clear what happened, locates the battles firmly on our landscape, and explains the causes and consequences with plentiful illustrations.
