Karl Hanssen's memoirs provide an invaluable outsider's view of
life in New Zealand prisons and a unique perspective on German
Samoa under New Zealand occupation. In October 1915, Hanssen,
manager of the DHPG, a large German copra production company, was
sent from Samoa to New Zealand to serve a six-month sentence
imposed by a New Zealand military court for bypassing war
censorship regulations. He served his sentence in a number of
prisons in New Zealand, including two months in the high-security
prison, Mt Eden. Hanssen's memoirs - in English translation and in
the original German - are made available for the first time in this
edition, which also features photos from his Samoan album and a
comprehensive introduction by Bronwyn Chapman on the historical and
political background.
