Vincent O'Malley - The New Zealand Wars

Kia ora koutou, This presentation by historian Vincent O'Malley was delivered as part of a series of talks looking at 19th century conflicts and is the subject of his recently published book: The New Zealand Wars : Nga Pakanga O Aotearoa: https://discover.aucklandlibraries.govt.nz/search/card?id=a2df0c73-613c-5281-877c-c7285ac1689a&entityType=FormatGroup "The New Zealand Wars were a series of conflicts that profoundly shaped the course and direction of our nation’s history... Fought between the Crown and various groups of Māori between 1845 and 1872, the wars touched many aspects of life in nineteenth century New Zealand, even in those regions spared actual fighting. Physical remnants or reminders from these conflicts and their aftermath can be found all over the country, whether in central Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, or in more rural locations such as Te Pōrere or Te Awamutu." - https://bwb.co.nz/ Michelle Patient puts listeners questions to Vincent following his talk.
