Contents:

Introduction -- Pre-colonial Maori society -- Musket Wars, c.1820-43 -- Flagstaff War, 1843-47 -- Wars for land, 1850s-70s -- Maori warrior -- British troops -- Colonial New Zealand troops.

Summary: The two major 19th century wars between the British settlers in New Zealand and the indigenous Maori were unique in several ways. The proud and warlike Maori had incorporated firearms into their traditional tactics before the conflicts began; they were not only masters of bush fighting, but also built sophisticated defensive forts. Many of them chose to side with the settlers from the start; and the final outcome, though inevitably bitter for many, did not lead to the extinction of either the people or their rich culture.--Cover.
