The spread of British strategic and commercial interests throughout the 19th century meant that the Army was called upon to serve across the world. It took nearly 30 years of intermittent warfare to suppress Maori opposition to settler expansion in New Zealand. In other areas it amounted to little more than skirmishing, and incidents such as Brooke's campaign against the pirates of Borneo have largely been forgotten. This fascinating volume by Ian Knight exposes the variety of these 'small wars' and of the qualities of the disparate peoples who took to the field to oppose the spread of the British Empire.
