Publisher's Synopsis
The Last Maori War In New Zealand: Under The Self Reliant Policy is a historical book written by George Stoddart Whitmore in 1902. The book chronicles the final conflict between the Maori people and the British Empire in New Zealand during the late 19th century. Whitmore, who served as a politician and military leader during the war, provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the conflict, the battles themselves, and the aftermath of the war. One of the key themes of the book is the concept of self-reliance, which was a policy adopted by the British government in New Zealand during this time period. The policy aimed to reduce the reliance on British troops and instead, encouraged the use of local forces to maintain law and order. Whitmore discusses the successes and failures of this policy and how it impacted the conflict with the Maori people.The Last Maori War In New Zealand: Under The Self Reliant Policy is an important historical document that provides insight into the complex relationship between the Maori people and the British Empire during this period. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of New Zealand, colonialism, and the impact of self-reliance policies on military conflicts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
