A Cook Islands History
What an odd assortment of characters New Zealand sent to administer the Cook Islands during 75 years of colonial rule.
The power-drunk and the benevolent, dull bureaucrats and bewildered misfits - long-suffering Cook Islanders saw them all. This book raises questions of particular interest to students of New Zealand history.
How was the annexation document prepared? What was the fate of 500 soldiers recruited for World War One? How did the responsible Ministers respond to the Cook Islands nationalist movement? Lavishly illustrated with photographs of people, places and events.
