The New Zealand Division in The Fist World War 2016-18
Wright traces the origins of the New Zealand Division from the jingoism in early 1900s New Zealand to the trenches of the Western Front. He briefly discusses the aftermath and impact on New Zealand national identity.
Why did so many New Zealanders sail from the 'uttermost ends of the earth' to die in muddy foregn soil? And swere the tactics really as mindless as climbing out of a trench and walking very slowly towards the Germans until everyone was dead?
Drawing on soldiers' diaries and letters, some published here fort the first time Wright paints a harrowing picture of a life and death struggle shared, over the span of the war, by more that 100,000 young Kiwi Soldiers
