Garrison World: Redcoat Soldiers in New Zealand and across the British Empire, by Charlotte Macdonald.

The Stout Centre’s seminar series highlighting recent books opens with Charlotte Macdonald’s 'Garrison World'. The book places the New Zealand Wars in a wider imperial framework and explores the lives of the thousands of soldiers, sailors and their families stationed in Aotearoa New Zealand through the period.

Join us for a conversation between the author and Vincent O’Malley and Peter Cooke—two experienced historians of the New Zealand Wars. Together they will explore 'Garrison World’s' conception, development and place in historiography.
