The New Zealand Army, which owes it's genesis to Maori Chief Hone Heke's raid of 1844, has seen many changes of form. It has progressed from militia forces of the 1840s to today's small standing Army of technologically able and well trained regular and territorial force soldiers. Throughout the intervening years, the Army has maintained its roots in the community which it serves and history has proven the New Zealand citizen soldier well able to fight in the interest of his country when called upon to do so. The aim of this short history is to place on record, in a single volume, some of the more important events that have had a bearing on the New Zealand Army. It is not intended to be a definitive work: most of the important events in the course of the Army's history have already been painstakingly researched and ably recorded by many authors, both civilian and military. - from the preface by Major General R.G. Williams, Chief of General Staff. This 1982 New Zealand Army Paperback is in good condition.
