SHADOW OF THE LAND
By Ian Wards

422 p. 1968. $9

The title for this book was provided by Nopera Panakarero, a Kaitaia chief of much influence, who, in May 1840, believed that only the "shadow of the land" had gone to Queen Victoria whilst the substance remained with the Maoris. Less than a year later he revised this opinion convinced that only the "shadow" would be the Maori portion.

The author examines the British acquisition of New Zealand. The Maoris trust in the Treaty of Waitangi and their confidence that its terms would be honoured and explains it was only by accident that the Maoris were guaranteed the possession of their lands and ancient privileges.

It is under these circumstances that the book considers the use of military force in New Zealand, analyses the arguments surrounding the provision of troops and concludes that, beyond any reasonable doubt that there was never an attempt to govern by "moral suasion".

New Zealand followed the normal nineteenth century British pattern of territorial acquisition.

The book is an essential introduction to the Maori wars of a later date.
