It is the story of New Zealand's rich record of loyalty, courage and sacrifice that built the confidence of a young nation. John Thomson's account covers a century of conflict, from the guerilla warfare in South Africa to the bloody disasters at Gallipoli, Passchendaele, Crete and Cassino, victories in the air over Europe and success in North Africa, Asia and the Pacific. In the first 50 years of the century, New Zealand servicemen fought three times in foreign lands in response to calls from Britain. The cost in human terms was staggering. In the second 50 years, young New Zealanders served as peacekeepers in trouble-spots around the world. Lest we forget, John Thomson has written this book so that every generation of New Zealanders will know the courage and character of those front-line warriors."; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 344 pages .

About Dr. Bookman - All Books Tightly Packaged in Cardboard
We have an eclectic array of used and out of print books for you in our inventory. Service is key to our relationship with you. You get \"Old School\" service with Dr. Bookman. We can\'t look at each other in the eye, shake each others hand, or walk into the shop the next day if we\'re disatisfied. I understand that vulnerability. You are purchasing a product sight unseen. That means I must be honest with you about exactly what you are buying. You might find my descriptions more detailed than most others, but when purchasing online, I want you to know exactly what you\'re buying. I don\'t want you to feel surprised when you open the box. And by the way, almost all of our books are shipped in cardboard packaging designed just for books. That means you get it the way it left here.
