The New Zealand Wars - A History of the Maori Campaigns and the Pioneering Period

Author(s): James Cowan

NZ Land Wars | Secondhand

'This history of the New Zealand Wars is the late James Cowan's greatest works... It is a history that is not a dry as dust account of policies and battles; it is a living history of brave men and women who fought for what each side believed to be right.' - from the blurb.


This edition contains a new and perceptive introduction by Michael King who looks at Cowan and his writing in the context of his times. 


This is a two-volume set. Some wear to edges and corners of dust jackets, which show some soiling and marking.  Red boards in good condition, and gilt lettering bright.  Interior in very good condition.
