The oxford Companion to New Zealand Military History, thick hard covered book of 653 pages (5 cm thick). Edited by Ian McGibbon in 2000 with the assistance of Paul Goldstone. The book is in really nice condition with no inscriptions. ** A few more pics of the book added to the end of my 1st day covers auction running this week if someone was interested**. War has played a defining roll in shaping New Zealand. From the destructive Musket Wars, the bloody culmination of centuries of Maori tribal warfare, to the New Zealand wars, military activities were a feature of 19th century New Zealand and their impact is still felt today. During the 20th century Pakeha and Maori stood shoulder to shoulder in NZ’s greatest national efforts: the shocking Great War and the all encompassing 1939-45 conflict, which both profoundly affected society and the world we live in. The book covers all the main campaigns and wars since 1800 and also talks about the men and women who made their mark in military affairs such as Te Rauparaha, Gustavus von Tempsky, Charles Upham, Ettie Rout, Bernard Freyberg and John Stark. The weapons and equipment that have been used in NZ military operations are also mentioned. There are over 40 maps and 150 photographs.
