From open warfare between the Maori and British settlers to struggles over labor and women's rights, from the far-flung battles fought by her soldiers for the British Empire to New Zealand's break with the U.S. over the ban on nuclear-armed ships in its waters, this past has followed a turbulent course--revealed here in a thoroughly illustrated, authoritative volume.
