AUTHOR CLAIMS NEW ZEALAND WARS WERE AVOIDABLE The New Zealand Wars and the bloodshed that went with it could have been avoided. AUT University history professor Paul Moon believes this to be the case and says the New Zealand Wars during the 1860s were unnecessary. Professor Paul Moon launched his acclaimed book The Edges of Empires in May. It looks at the personalities and events of the 1850s and 1860s and is available now at Dymocks and Whitcoulls bookshops. |
