Book Description Hardcover. Condition: VG+. Dust Jacket Condition: VG+. Photos, Art (illustrator). 1st. From the 1830s to the early 1900s NZers were frequently worried by the possibility of expansion of the Russian Empire in the South Pacific, with their country a possible target for occupation. To some degree the concern was justified, with NZ virtually defenceless, the protective Royal Navy deployed only a small force based in Australia and strength in troops was even lower. In this interesting account of a near-forgotten earlier Cold War the author approaches his topic from military, political, international perpsectives, how NZ administrations approached the problem and the extensive programme of fortifications built to protect the major ports. A fascinating look as this aspect of Pacific history. 180 pages including appendix, abbreviations list, bibliography, index, 15 b/w illustrations --- photos, art, portraits. Brown hard covers with gilt spine titles VG+, text block excellent, no inscriptions. Tinted art DJ is VG+ with tiny chips spine top. Seller Inventory # 003584
