Description

Turning Point: Events that changed the course of New Zealand History by Paul Moon. 'In this highly readable and lively history of New Zealand, leading historian Paul Moon identifies twenty turning points that mark a defining moment in the development of the country. Singling out these episodes he provides an opportunity for us to understand how one event or a series of incidents could lead to a significant change of direction - and what might have occurred had this event not taken place. Presented as distinct stories and illustrated with photographs and paintings drawn from the archives, the end result is a rounded and fascinating view of an emerging nation. From the first discovery of land and Hongi Hika's visit to England much later, the turning point points described early settlements, race relations, economics, international alliances and social and cultural change - up to the point when MMP irrevocably changed the political landscape.' The book has light general wear but remains tight and bright.
