Description: Dust jacket art by Jeff Fisher. New Zealand author Maurice Shadbolt is also the author of Season of the Jew (a New York Times Book Review best book of 1987). From the author's note for this novel: '''Where this story most seems fiction, it is fact. Otherwise it is folklore, leaving a novelist with few liberties to take.'' The story of Kimball Bent, an American dragooned into Her Majesty's army in the middle of the nineteenth century and sent off to subdue the restless Maori in New Zealand. The following is taken from the jacket blurb: ''Most remarkable is that this story is true. Titokowaru and his fierce and feuding lieutenants did humble the English armies that had been sent to snatch their land, and they were led by this slightly befuddled Yankee, who was fighting (and mostly winning) the American revolution all over on the far side of the globe.'' Originally published in the United Kingdom in 1990, this is the First American edition of 1992.
