Michael King – The History Of New Zealand
New Zealand was the last country in the world to be discovered and settled by humankind. It was also the first to introduce full democracy. Between those events, and in the century that followed the franchise, the movements and the conflicts of human history have been played out more intensively and more rapidly in New Zealand than anywhere else on Earth.
The book was abridged for radio by Michael King himself just before his untimely death in 2004 and by Elizabeth Alley; it is narrated by one of New Zealand 's most accomplished actors, George Henare. The radio series contains compelling archive material from RNZ’s archives - such as Michael Joseph Savage's 1939 radio address to the nation shortly after we declared war on Germany. The radio series is presented again in a series of 10 CDs.
