The Penguin History of New Zealand

A sweeping, authoritative chronicle of Aotearoa from Polynesian settlement to modern nationhood. This Penguin classic charts the forces that shaped our neighbours across the ditch—Māori traditions, colonial ambitions, social upheavals, and the forging of a Pacific identity. Comprehensive without being dry, it's the kind of history that deepens your understanding of the region and its people. Perfect for history enthusiasts, Australians curious about our trans-Tasman cousins, and anyone drawn to Pacific stories.
