Unsung heroes of Titokowaru's war Belich, James "Only three out of 150 first-year Victoria history students knew who Titokowaru was when asked earlier this year. Yet Titokowaru of Ngati Ruanui was the best military leader New Zealand has ever produced, according to the author of the New Zealand Wars, a history due out later this month which radically reinterprets the Anglo-Maori conflicts of the last century. In the first of three specially adapted extracts for The Dominion, James Belich recalls the Maori chief who never lost a battle against the British."
The war that Hone Heke won Belich, James "New Zealand children are taught that Governor Grey won the Flagstaff War of 1845-46 by beating Hone Heke at the battle of Ruapekapeka. That was a myth. In the second extract from the New Zealand Wars, published next week, historian James Belich argues that in fact the Maori chief got the better of Britain."
A gaping hole in NZ history Belich, James "In the third and final specially adapted extract from The New Zealand War, historian James Belich argues that the distorted Victorian view of Maoris as brace but stupid warriors has bequeathed a race relations problem for every generation since."
