Black and White photos. New Zealanders at War was acclaimed by reviewers and returned servicemen when it was first published in 1981. It is the first and only book to compress into words and pictures the extent to which warfare has affected New Zealand life over 200 years. It does this through the words of people who were there and with more than 400 photographs.
It is not a glorification of war, but an attempt to recollect its privations, its squalor, and its horrors; and people's efforts to respond to these conditions with decency and dignity.
'The men and women who are the subject of this book were reluctant heroes and heroines. They deserve to be remembered and they deserve to be honoured.'
