Secret History

State Surveillance in New Zealand, 1900–1956

About this book

Uncover the hidden history of state surveillance in New Zealand. This groundbreaking study delves into the largely unexplored world of political policing and security intelligence from 1900 to 1956, revealing a dimension of New Zealand history often overshadowed by its reputation as a free and open society.

Richard Hill and Steven Loveridge meticulously examine the state's mechanisms for surveilling individuals and organizations deemed threats, exploring the delicate balance between security and civil liberties. From the volatile political realignments leading up to 1914 to the early Cold War, Secret History captures the essence of state surveillance, challenging cherished beliefs about power and the public in New Zealand.

This volume offers a new perspective on the complicated boundaries between myth and reality in New Zealand's past, providing evidence about what happened, why it happened, and assessing its ramifications. Discover the untold stories of spies, informants, and the impact of international events on domestic surveillance.
