About

Tiny Niue lies alone in the south Pacific. Far from the main shipping routes and with a daunting reputation, Savage Island did not naturally invite visitors.

Yet Niue has a surprisingly rich history of contact, from the brief landings by James Cook in 1774 through to the 19th century visits by whalers, traders, and missionaries, and into the 20th century when New Zealand extended its territory to include the Cook Islands and Niue.

Using a wide range of archival material from Niue, New Zealand, Australia, and Britain, Margaret Pointer places Niue center stage in an entertaining and thoroughly readable account of this island nation through to 1974, when Niue became self-governing.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images and maps.
