Fatal Success, comprising much wholly new and unpublished material of an often startling nature, chronicles the various companies set up by would-be colonisers, culminating in the New Zealand Company. This book sheds new light on the events of the early 1800s and is essential reading for all who wish to gain a better understanding of this crucial period in New Zealand history.
