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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes monochrome images.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003eImmaculate with only wear\/spine fading on dust jacket and faint marks on end papers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eREMARKS\u003cbr\u003eScarce\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unicorn Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55450889978148,"sku":null,"price":44.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/1901\/6740\/files\/97389.jpg?v=1783242725","url":"https:\/\/unicornbooks.co.nz\/products\/russophobia-in-new-zealand-1838-1908-by-glynn-barratt-1981-1st-edition","provider":"Unicorn Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
