Description
The Edges of Empires is a captivating and intimate account of New Zealand in the 1850s. Paul Moon has shone a powerful light on this previously obscured decade, and in doing so, has illuminated one of the most significant periods in the country's history, with an eye for colourful detail, and with often wry observations of the personalities and events of the time. The Edges of Empires depicts magnificently the character and temperament of New Zealand in one of the nation's most formative decades.
