The war that Hone Heke won
DIGITAL LIBRARY
Description
"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."
