Defining Conflicts? The New Zealand Wars
In this Friends of the Turnbull Library event, Dr Vincent O’Malley , author of The Great War for New Zealand: Waikato 1800-2000 , will present an overview of the New Zealand Wars – a series of conflicts that profoundly shaped the course and direction of our nation’s history. He looks at the origins, causes and consequences of these conflicts and discusses how the wars have been remembered historically. Vincent has recently received a Friends of the Turnbull Library research grant to help him research his latest book project, a history of the New Zealand Wars aimed at the secondary school market. 5.30 pm, Thursday 22 November Ground Floor, National Library of New Zealand Corner of Aitken and Molesworth streets Thorndon, Wellington Webpage: https://natlib.govt.nz/events/defining-conflicts-the-new-zealand-wars-november-22-2018
