Anzacs New Zealand Destination (including gst) NZ $29.95 International Destination NZ $26.04 Anzacs is the story of the reality of war as told by 24 New Zealanders who have experienced it. These are tales of human courage, resourcefulness and resilience - and sometimes humour - but also of broken bodies, crushed spirits, violence and death. The mean and women who share their experiences served as infantrymen, artillerymen, commandos, air force pilots and crew, marines and naval officers, nurses, medics and chaplains. The Second World War veterans served in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific, while others fought in the later wars in Korea and Vietnam. This book also includes stories from New Zealanders who fought with the Italian Resistance and the British, Australian and American forces. Some describe, in disturbing detail, their experiences in prisoner of war camps in Europe and Japan. The account of a Jewish Holocaust survivor who has made her home in New Zealand make particularly compelling reading. These intensely moving accounts were gathered from candid interviews with the author and from previously unpublished personal letters, journals and diaries. The stories remain in the voices of those who shared their experiences and nothing has been censored. These are powerful stories told with rare courage and honesty that readers will feel privileged to share.   If our stock of this product is sold out when your order is placed, we will typically source another within 48 hours.
