Paperback. Condizione: Good. 467 pages. Has been read'Women and land are the downfall of men.' Titokowaru is warrior, priest and l eader of a people struggling for survival in the face of European land-hunger in New Zealand of the 1860s. 'An End of Honour' is the story of his fight to stave off settler greed while he brings his…people to accept the inevitable with hono ur. John Selby Hunter is an ex-Confederate cavalryman reluctantly involved by Go vernor George Grey in a process which, he comes to realise, is the antithesis of all he's been taught to believe in. 'An End of Honour' moves from the battlefie lds of Taranaki to the campaigns of the American mid-West and back again via the society of colonial Auckland; it is the story of two highly-principled men who see beyond division, race and greed to find unity in the thought that, if one ha s no honour, one has nothing. Together, they dominate a story of real events tha t involved real New Zealanders only five generations ago; a story that echoes do wn to the present day.
