Beschrijving

The year is 1859 - the British Government is determined to shed responsibility for the settlement colony of New Zealand, a new pan-tribalism is starting to replace tribal animosity in Maori society, and gold is about to be struck in Otago. The decade 1859 to 1869 is among the most momentous yet most misunderstood in New Zealand's history and its legacies underlie current national debates. Yet New Zealand's experiences were not unique. Throughout these years wars and fears of war were universal; and as China and the USA underwent the most cataclysmic civil wars in history, New Zealanders had to recognise the implications of French, Russian and American ambitions in the Pacific. In Climates of War, acclaimed historian Edmund Bohan considers New Zealand's conflicts in the wider context of empire and world events, stimulating debate and provoking fresh research.
