The New Zealand Wars refers to the series of conflicts between Maori and the New Zealand Government between 1845 and 1872.
The wars produced many heroes - both Maori and Pakeha - and many stories of bravery, heroism, cruelty and folly. The wars continue to have an impact on the shape of New Zealand today.
In this highly readable book Ross Calman outlines the main wars in this 30-year period, and gives us an insight into the key actions and outcomes of the time.
The New Zealand Wars is a great read for anyone interested in the history of war, and essential reading for all New Zealanders.
