The Musket Wars : A History Of Inter-iwi Conflict 1806-1845
Paperback Edition: 1R
Hailed on its publication in 1999 as among the most important works of New Zealand history of the twentieth century, The Musket Wars records in graphic detail how the arrival of the musket and new food sources led to a wave of conflicts that engulfed

Yet to the victors went the spoils: the Treaty of Waitangi acknowledged tribal boundaries as they existed in 1840. The wars thus have ongoing relevance to the entire Waitangi Tribunal process, a fact that has not been sufficiently addressed by most claims.
Includes extensive photographs and maps.
With an introduction by the late Michael King.
This volume updates the revised 2001 edition, with improved scans of many images.
