註釋"In this remarkable book, the fruit of thirty years' research, events which are among the most important, the most controversial and the least understood in our history are examined by a distinguished New Zealand scholar who is also a humane realist. Like von Ranke, the great German historian, Harld Miller believes that the business of the historian is simply to describe what happened, including, of course, what people thoughts as well as what they did, not to sit in judgment on the past or foretell the future. He interprets this dictum to mean, not that the historian must refrain from making moral judgments about the events he describes, but that he must try to keep facts and comment seperate and easily distinguishable, and make a determined effort to prevent his theories from influencing his choice of facts. Readers of Race Conflict will find that he succeeds admirably. Harold Miller's able handling of a wealth of contemporary material, his scholarship and insight and his forceful masculine style make this book essential reading, not only for the student, but for all New Zealanders who seek a better understanding of Pakeha and Maori today through a knowledge of the past." --BOOK JACKET.
