The legacy of the New Zealand Wars is all around us, but for the most part we are ignorant of how it has shaped our society - and the remnants the conflict left on the landscape. From the first shots in the Bay of Islands (with its bullet-marked Christ Church in Russell) to the closing manoeuvres in the King Country, Wright sets out to clarify and characterise the conflicts that raged from 1845 to 1872. The New Zealand Wars brings to life this history in full colour, with the help of plentiful photos and maps. Readers of all ages will be able not only to understand this key part of our history, but also connect with the battle sites that remain - for the most part - hard to find.
