While light on detailed analysis, this guide is perfect for the person who wants to be able to find where some of the critical scenes in the New Zealand Wars played out, and gives a decent summarised coverage of the events which occurred in each place. The directions are very handy for locals and visitors alike, and there are a number of “bird's-eye views” included as photographs to give you a better, overall view of the pas, redoubts, and battlefields. A welcome and slightly more readable companion to Landscapes of Conflict.
