Bruce Moon: NEW ZEALAND'S 'REAL' HISTORYVincent O’Malley is – or should be – notorious already for his gross distortion of history when, in an article in “The Listener” for 25th February 2017, he misrepresented as “an almost incomprehensible act of savagery” General Cameron’s humanitarian action in his almost bloodless capture of the Waikato rebels’ primary food source at Rangiaowhia. But no! He has now produced another book entitled “The New Zealand Wars Nga Pakaranga o Aotearoa”, receiving on 18th May 2019 a nice slice of publicity from the “New Zealand Herald” and even more from “The Spinoff”[ii] the day before. Once again, his lurid tales in lieu of facts do no service to historicity – the genuine recording of our actual history. Indeed his very title - “The New Zealand Wars” shows his bias since, whatever they have been called in the past, the only accurate description of those hostilities is as tribal rebellions. Whatever suffering any tribes may have endured in consequence, they were the direct result of armed conflicts which they started – often, it is fair to say, by warlike chiefs simply spoiling for a fight - Wiremu Kingi in Taranaki and Rewi Maniapoto in Waikato for example......
