Summary:

"This history of New Zealand's relations with the League of Nations from its inception in 1920 to its demise in 1946 follows the government's transformation in attitude from its hostility to detached acceptance and passionate support in the late 1930s. By chronicling this intricate relationship, this work traces New Zealand's first steps towards developing its own foreign policy"--Provided by publisher.
