Originally published as Scars on the Heart, and based on the Auckland Museum’s permanent exhibition of the same name. Kiwis in Conflict is a rich and fascinating account of the impact of war through the eyes of those involved, using photographs, paintings, letters and diaries. Five leading New Zealand historians have contributed to this major work, and the new edition has the latest information on New Zealanders as peacekeepers in the Pacific, the Middle East and Afghanistan, including the awarding of the Victoria Cross to Corporal Bill “Willie” Apiata.
"This is a well-produced book which should be of great interest to younger readers who are not aware of New Zealand’s participation in past wars and of the pain and loss suffered. A copy should be placed in the libraries of secondary schools." Otago Daily Times

286 x 213 mm, 304 pages, over 300 photographs

Buddy Mikaere tells the story of the New Zealand Wars from a Maori perspective, and the impact this had and is still having on Maori communities. Nigel Prickett contrasts this with European perceptions. Laurie Barber examines New Zealand’s first experience of fighting for the Empire in the Anglo-Boer War. Chris Pugsley continues this story into the First and Second World Wars. It is a tale of learning about war the hard way, by bitter and costly experience. Rose Young examines the defence of New Zealand and the total mobilisation of our society to meet the Japanese threat. Chris Pugsley takes the story of conflict into the postwar years, including peacekeeping operations from Korea in the 1950s to the present day.
