ABOUT
From the 1830s to the early 1900s NZers were frequently worried by the possibility of expansion of the Russian Empire in the South Pacific, with their country a possible target for occupation. To some degree the concern was justified, with NZ virtually defenceless, the protective Royal Navy deployed only a small force based in Australia and strength in troops was even lower. In this interesting account of a near-forgotten earlier Cold War the author approaches his topic from military, political, international perspectives, how NZ administrations approached the problem and the extensive programme of fortifications built to protect the major ports. A fascinating look as this aspect of Pacific history.
Includes monochrome images.
