About This Item
2000. First Edition . Softcover (with flaps). Very Good Condition. Quarto. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact Text body is clean, and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting No foxing in this copy All edges clean, neat and free of foxing The story of heroes - the soldiers, sailors and airmen who left New Zealand to do battle as front-line warriors. It is the story of New Zealand's rich record of loyalty, courage and sacrifice that built the confidence of a young nation. John Thomson's account covers a century of conflict, from the guerilla warfare in South Africa to the bloody disasters at Gallipoli, Passchendaele, Crete and Cassino, victories in the air over Europe and success in North Africa, Asia and the Pacific.
In the first 50 years of the century, New Zealand servicemen fought three times in foreign lands in response to calls from Britain. The cost in human terms was staggering. In the second 50 years, young New Zealanders served as peacekeepers in trouble-spots around the world. Lest we forget, John Thomson has written this book so that every generation of New Zealanders will know the courage and character of those front-line warriors. B & W photos and map illustrations
