About this ebook
Admirably clear and concise in its account of the aftermath of the land wars, Kinds of Peace examines the political, religious and other reactions among M&āori towards the coming of peace. It considers the effect of the wars on the M&āori people of Waikato, Taranaki, and Hawkes Bay, and draws heavily on M&āori sources. Special emphasis is given to leaders Te Whiti and T&āwhiao. Sinclair writes a challenging and eminently readable book. It is a major contribution by New Zealand's most distinguished historian to our knowledge of nineteenth-century M&āori history.
