"A monumental new account of the defining conflict in New Zealand history. It was war in the Waikato in 1863-64 that shaped the nation in all kinds of ways: setting back Māori and Pākehā relations by several generations and allowing the government to begin to assert the kind of real control over the country that had eluded it since 1840. Spanning nearly two centuries from first contact through to settlement and apology, Vincent O'Malley focuses on the human impact of the war, its origins and aftermath. Based on many years of research and illustrated throughout, The Great War for New Zealand is a groundbreaking book written in the conviction that a nation needs to own its history"--Publisher information.

Vincent provides a very readable account of the war including both its lead up and the fallout afterward. He has gone to great lengths to furnish the Maori perspective which has long been missing from our collective memory. It's especially important in that it helps to understand why there is still a sense of anger and unfairness, and why Ihumatao for example is such an important issue.
Unfortunately it does make hard going at some points, only because the content is so confronting. In the end this is the story of a great injustice, and the victims were never to see things put right.
Perhaps one day we will be able to add another chapter, and give this book a happier ending. ( )
