The Creation of Nuclear Free New Zealand is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of nuclear disarmament and the role of New Zealand in the global movement. This book provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone, Disarmament, and Arms Control Act of 1987, which made New Zealand the first country in the world to ban nuclear weapons from its territory.

The book begins by describing the early history of the anti-nuclear movement in New Zealand. In the 1950s and 1960s, New Zealand was a strong supporter of the British nuclear weapons program. However, public opinion began to shift in the late 1960s and early 1970s as the dangers of nuclear weapons became more widely understood. By the mid-1970s, the anti-nuclear movement had become a major force in New Zealand politics.

In 1984, the Labour Party, which had long supported the anti-nuclear movement, was elected to government. The new government immediately began to work towards making New Zealand nuclear free. In 1987, the New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone, Disarmament, and Arms Control Act was passed into law. The act banned nuclear weapons from New Zealand's territory and made it illegal for New Zealand to participate in any nuclear activities.

The Creation of Nuclear Free New Zealand is a fascinating account of the events leading up to this historic legislation. The book is well-written and engaging, and it provides a valuable insight into the role of New Zealand in the global anti-nuclear movement.
