brief_description
The struggle for the land itself becomes the underlying subject. The Māori prophet and war leader is protagonist in a story that is part his own, part a modern-day commentary and echoes the mythic struggles on the field surrounding Troy. Titokowaru was commander and priest, war leader and pacifist, and Maguire has him engage with philosopher Socrates as he ponders whether he can better save his people through a path of passive resistance or warfare. ..."-- blurb
