• Sommario/riassunto: A detailed examination of the circumstances leading to British intervention and hence to the Treaty of Waitangi, <i>Fatal Necessity</i> was first published in 1977. Now re-issued as an e-book, this key text in Treaty studies emphasises that the dual aim of British policy was to protect both settlers and Maori; the reality, however, proved very different.
