The New Zealand Wars of the mid-nineteenth century profoundly shaped the course and direction of our nation' s history. This book takes us to the heart of these conflicts with a series of first-hand accounts from Maori and Pakeha who either fought in or witnessed the wars that ravaged New Zealand between 1845 and 1872. From Heni Te Kiri Karamu' s narrative of her remarkable exploits as a wahine toa, through to Gustavus Ferdinand von Tempsky' s writing of his time in the Forest Rangers and beyond, we learn about the wars at a human level. The often fragmentary, sometimes hastily written accounts that make up Voices from the New Zealand Wars vividly evoke the extreme emotions - fear, horror, pity and courage - experience during the most turbulent time in our country' s history. Each account is expertly introduced and contextualised, so that the historical record speaks to us vividly through many voices. Voices from the New Zealand Wars represents another ground-breaking contribution from historian Vincent O' Malley. As Mihingarangi Forbes has written: ' I believe Vincent O' Malley' s research will be the single most important historical body of work produced in my lifetime. '
Vincent O' Malley is the author of a number of acclaimed books on New Zealand history including bestselling works ' The Great War for New Zealand: Waikato 1800-2000' (BWB, 2016) and ' The New Zealand Wars/Nga Pakanga o Aotearoa (BWB, 2019). With Professor Joanna Kidman, he leads the Marsden Fund project ' He Taonga te Wareware? Remembering and Forgetting Difficult Histories in Aotearoa/New Zealand' , a three-year study into how the nineteenth-century New Zealand Wars have helped shape memory, identity and history. He is a founding partner of History Works, a group of historians specialising in Treaty of Waitangi research.
