Stories from New Zealanders at War

Gallipoli was the final resting place for thousands of young New Zealanders. Death struck so fast there was not time for escape or burial. And when Gallipoli was over there was the misery of the European Campaign. This book looks at those infamous soldiers, why they went, what they saw, and how they felt about that great holocaust. Their simple accounts are more vivid than any novel; the years have not dimmed their memories of lost comrades and the horrors of war. These are the extraordinary experiences of ordinary men - and they strike to the heart.
