Large page volume packed with 10 chapters of facts & anecdotes. Also one hundred & seventy 19th Century illustrations unearthed by the author in more than 40 locations in New Zealand covering its history & the tale of Jews including Sir Julius Vogel the "Disraeli of New Zealand" who as premier in the 1870's molded it into a very advanced democratic state in the South Pacific.

The 1988 widely-reviewed first sold-out edition elicited responses of delight as well as an appreciation of the enormous task & the careful detective work done to salvage this material. An index, missing in the first edition, was added in this volume, minor corrections made. Preface by Dr. Abraham J. Peck, director of the American Jewish Archives in Cincinnati.
