The Warriors - since their inception in 1995 - have always been 'the people's team'.
Some say it's because, like all of us, they have had their fair share of imperfections. Others say it's because rugby league has always had a close tie with the blue-collar working-class heroes of New Zealand.
Whatever the reason, 'the people's team' statement has withstood the test of 15 seasons in the toughest rugby league competition in the world and has given birth to the Warrior's Nation.
The club's fans have witnessed extraordinary highs and deflating lows. But through it all the franchise has maintained an unmatched relationship with the rugby league heartland in their ongoing against-the-odds attempts at winning a premiership.
Celebrated author John Matheson, who covered the early years of the Warriors for Sunday News, has brought together the rich history of New Zealand's own NRL team.
Original interviews, along with accounts from former players, coaches and CEOs, make Warrior Nation a compelling reading for any New Zealand sports fan as the fortunes of the club's 15-year history are spun together for the first time.
Warrior Nation celebrates the club's rollercoaster fortunes - the good, the bad, and the humorous times - in an easy-to-read style which will have the team's fan base convinced, once again, that the 2010 season will be the season the Warriors finally win it all.
