A Short History of New Zealand by Gordon McLaughlan

 


A Short History of New Zealand by Gordon McLaughlan

At the end of this winter's New Zealand trip, I once again wanted to understand a little bit more about the country's history. To be honest my interest was more in the original Maori arrival (of which we know little) and the early settlement, but reading this (very readable) book highlighted to me how ahead and progressive New Zealand has been on social issues. It also (hopefully) gives me a slightly better understanding of kiwis. Well worth a read if you're interested in a light dive into NZ history.
