Product Description

The cold blooded murder of 51 innocent people and the attempted murder of many others at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, on March 15 2019 sent shivers of horror down the collective spine of the nation. An act of terror such as this was totally unexpected from a white wing supremacist. How could we be so naive? This unprecedented atrocity brought the ugly reality of racism, bigotry and religious intolerance in New Zealand into the glare of international scrutiny. Although 51 people were tragically murdered, so many lives were saved by a combination of incredible luck and the outstanding work of the police, St John ambulance staff, medical professionals of Christchurch hospital, members of the public and the heroic acts of those under fire at both mosques. Veteran author, Tom O'Connor, takes a deeper look into the history of religion and conflict as well as measures the nation has taken since the attack. Gun laws were tightened, the 'Christchurch Call' was initiated, the Royal Commission made recommendations for further changes to our laws and policies. Will it make a difference?
