A review by nathanjhunt
The Complete History of New Zealand in Less Than Two Hours by Peter Jessup

informative fast-paced

2.5

My 56th book finished in 2023.

For something calling itself a history book, there was a surprising lack of history inside it.

Sure, I learnt some things from the book, but a lot of the stuff in here was very boring. I was disappointed at the lack of Māori history and early European settlement, which, I suppose, is what I wanted to know more about (and not sports / produce and income etc).
