This bundle offers a compelling exploration of the complex and often turbulent history of colonial conflict in the Southern Hemisphere. This three-part volume dives into the significant struggles that shaped the histories of Australia and New Zealand, shedding light on the fierce resistance of Indigenous communities against colonial powers.

The first section, Australia's War, delves into the violent clashes between European settlers and Aboriginal Australians, exploring the devastating impact of colonization, frontier warfare, and the long-lasting consequences on Indigenous communities.

The second section, New Zealand Wars, examines the series of 19th-century armed conflicts between the British Crown and various Māori iwi (tribes), driven by land disputes, cultural resistance, and the fight for sovereignty.

The final section, The Māori and the Pākehā, offers a broader understanding of the cultural and political dynamics between the Māori and the European settlers (Pākehā), exploring themes of adaptation, resistance, and the ongoing struggle for recognition and rights. Together, these three perspectives provide a powerful and nuanced account of colonial conflict and Indigenous resilience, making this book essential reading for those seeking to understand the legacy of colonization in Australia and New Zealand.
