Mates and Mayhem World War II: Frontline Kiwis Remember - Lawrence Watt
$20.00
Used paperback in good condition.
In this collection of oral histories, seven men and one women tell exactly how it felt to be in the fighting zones of the last global conflict.
What's it like to be called up to war? What goes through your mind as you march, sail or fly into battle?
Their stories cover much of WWII, from retreat on Crete to victory at Trieste. Through them we experience the hard slog of the infantry, incarceration as a POW, battles in the air and skirmishes at sea, the warrior spirit of the Maori Battalion, and the tender care of devoted nurses.
