Atlas of the New Zealand Wars by Derek Leask


Wellington and online, New Zealand
Organisation: Friends of the Turnbull Library
The New Zealand Wars were long and tortuous. Māori knew the land and the waterways of Aotearoa and understood where they going. British and Colonial soldiers often did not, and drew maps to make up the deficit. Those 19th Century maps are the backbone of Derek Leask’s Atlas of the New Zealand Wars, offering for 21st Century readers a new narrative of the wars and defining the pathways through them.
