The Front Line: Images of New Zealanders in the Second World War

Autor Glyn Harper, Susan Lemish
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 ian 2023
A landmark book exploring New Zealands 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 Zealands leading military historians places the images in context. Chapters on prisoners of war, the home front and New Zealands 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.
