| Description: |
This is a collection of essays by New Zealand and Commonwealth historians on different aspects of New Zealand's involvement in the South African War of 1892-1902. It also includes essays of Australasian commandants, an Australian perspective and the Montreal Flag Riot of 1900. |
| Synopsis: |
War has been an unforgettable, powerful experience for many New Zealanders, and a defining element in the evolution of New Zealand as a nation. The South African War - the "Boer War" of 1899-1902 - was New Zealand's first overseas war, in which more than 6,000 people fought and 230 lost their lives. This collection of essays by leading historians presents various perspectives on New Zealand's involvement in this historical event. Opposition to the war, women and Maori in the war, the Australian perspective, and the Montreal Flag Riot of 1900 are all subjtects covered. Several distinguished overseas historians, inluding Tom Pakenham and Carman Miller, set the New Zealand effort in a wider imperial framework. |
