Auckland, August 1908: A Stop on the Great White Fleet World Cruise |
 Listen to Podcast |
|
| By: Robert Garry Law
|
|
This booklet places the visit of the Great White Fleet to Auckland in its New Zealand context and its geopolitical context - that of great power rivalry over prestige, territorial ambitions and projection of force by battleship lead fleets. It shows the society and the character of the city of Auckland 100 years ago. Illustrated with contemporary pictures, many drawn from colour printed post cards.
