In 1939 more than 140 000 New Zealanders enlisted to fight overseas during World War II. Of these 104 000 served in the Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force. Initially thrown into the doomed campaign to halt the German blitzkrieg on Greece & Crete (1941) the division was rebuilt under the leadership of Maj Gen Sir Bernard Freyberg & became the elite corps within Montgomery's Eighth Army in the desert. After playing a vital role in the victory at El Alamein (1942) the ' Kiwis' were the vanguard of the pursuit to Tunisia. In 1943-45 the division was heavily engaged in the Italian mountains especially at Cassino (1944); it ended the war in Trieste. Meanwhile a smaller NZ force supported US forces against the Japanese in the Solomons & New Guinea (1942-44). Fully illustrated with specially commissioned colour plates this is the story of the Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force's vital contribution to Allied victory in World War II. ...

Between 1845 & 1872 various groups of Maori were involved in a series of wars of resistance against British settlers. The Maori had a fierce & long-established warrior tradition & subduing them took a lengthy British Army commitment only surpassed in the Victorian period by that on the North-West Frontier of India. Warfare had been endemic in pre-colonial New Zealand & Maori groups maintained fortified villages or pas. The small early British coastal settlements were tolerated & in the 1820s a chief named Hongi Hika travelled to Britain with a missionary & returned laden with gifts. He promptly exchanged these for muskets & began an aggressive 15-year expansion. By the 1860s many Maori had acquired firearms & had perfected their bush-warfare tactics. In the last phase of the wars a religious movement Pai Maarire (Hau Hau) inspired remarkable guerrilla leaders such as Te Kooti Arikirangi to renewed resistance. This final phase saw a reduction in British Army forces. European victory was not total but led to a negotiated peace that preserved some of the Maori peoples territories & freedoms. ...
