Milestones - Turning Points in New Zealand History

MILESTONES tells the story of New Zealand in a distinctive new way. The milestones here are turning pionts that have shaped our past and made us what we are today.

The volume covers the entire sweep of New Zealand history - from the voyages of discovery, decisive battles, women's rights, to landmarks in race and industrial relations.

For ready reference and ease of use each of the milestones is written as a complete episode.

Where necessary the milestones are linked by a narrative which covers the years in between.

A year by year list of key events concludes the book. The result is a comprehensive history of New Zealand.

Authoritative yet easy to read, every family will find it an essential guide to their national heritage.
