But actually all the good books have already been mentioned by Arteis and Pat. Most of the material I have used for these posts is from James Belich's "The New Zealand Wars", David Green's "Battlefields of the New Zealand Wars - a Visitor's Guide" (both published by Penguin) and Ian Knight's various Osprey titles.<br /><br />GilesGileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431052344684945450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991076225884911243.post-31199290644203568532011-05-17T04:06:41.196+00:002011-05-17T04:06:41.196+00:00Oh - nice work, Giles.
