Blood and tears : a memorial to those killed by tribal and related violence : the great untold story of New Zealand

documentary heritage
  • Description

    "In the course of creating the New Zealand that we have today, with its law and order, property rights, personal safety and individual freedom, numerous people - both European and friendly Maori - were killed by tribal violence. They gave their lives in the cause of creating order out of anarchy and are just as deserving of the nation's respect and sympathy as are soldiers who die on the battlefield.

    In this book some of these brave but unfortunate people are introduced to the modern reader, together with brief details of their lives and of their ... deaths."--Back cover.
