- Summary
- "A timely publication which uses previously unpublished sources from the United States to explore what lies behind the Treaty of Waitangi by plunging us into the international world of the early nineteenth century: the British governments of the day, the trading and whaling economy of the South Pacific, prevalent contemporary world views, evangelical missionary activity and influence, and the links to the financial communities in London and Sydney. No-one, including the missionaries, comes away unscathed"--Publisher's website.
