A landmark book exploring New Zealand's second world war effort through over
800 photographs, many never before published and many live-action shots taken
by those at the front. The images span North Africa, Europe and the Pacific, as
well as action on the water and in the air - every battle and theatre in which New
Zealanders fought. The text by one of New Zealand's leading military historians
places the images in context. Chapters on prisoners of war, the home front and New
Zealand's role in Japan after the end of hostilities in the Pacific round out this rich
visual account of a conflict that dominated all aspects of New Zealand life for seven
years.
