Conflict and Kiwis eBook - 1 year lease

Conflict and Kiwis will help you gain a good overview and insight into the differing forms that conflict can take and specifically a number of key world conflicts and key happenings that impacted on New Zealand.

Conflict and Kiwis covers the events and the people that contributed to these significant conflicts and examines how these events helped shape the New Zealand we know and love today. This book will assist teachers and students of History to meet the Level Six New Zealand Curriculum requirements of:
