Reviews

"This book tells the struggle for justice in which our people were engaged from the time their lands were confiscated in 1863 till the crown agreed to a settlement in 1995. Every family in Waikato has its own account of this history but out there, beyond us all, there was a public record and it is that which this book contains."
