"This book casts fresh light on Maori attitudes at the time of the Treaty of Waitangi, both of those who endorsed and those who opposed it. Compares the relative impact of the two classes of Europeans who had already settled here: on the one hand the missionaries and on the other the runaway seamen and convicts escaped from New South Wales. Above all, it contrasts the reactions to these new influences of the three leaders who reacted in very different ways to the changes in Maori life: Hongi Hika, Te Rauparaha and Hone Heke."--Publisher's information.
