By the middle of the nineteenth century, the very existence of European colonial settlement in New Zealand was under threat. Weakened by its campaigns and wars against the Maori, the New Zealand colony turned to its sister colonial states in Australia for support. This ground-breaking work shows how the Anzac spirit began not on the sandy beaches of Gallipoli, but 50 years earlier in the damp forests and fields of the North Island.
