Review
“A tour de force. In a brilliant new analysis, he demolishes the received wisdom of the course and outcome of the New Zealand Wars . . . explains how we came by the version and why it is all wrong, and substitutes his own interpretation. It is a vigorous and splendidly stylish contribution to our historiography.” —Dr. Ann Parsonson, New Zealand Listener
“As complete and as brilliant a re-examination as one could imagine.” —Dr. Bruce Collins, Times Higher Education Supplement
