Shirley Corlett
Debbie is fascinated by the old sea journal her forefather wrote during his voyage on an emigrant sailing ship to New Zealand in 1842.
At home, sick with glandular fever, Debbie feels transported back in time. Is it a feverish hallucination, or is her long-dead relative trying to tell her something?

Against the Rising Sun

NZ$ 44.99 each
Paperback
Author:
Megan Hutching (ed) with Ian McGibbon & Alison Parr
The next book in the ongoing series tells the stories of Kiwis in the Pacific theatre: based in New Caledonia, in action on Mono and Nissan Islands, women working in communications, and a few Air force and Navy personnel. The Pacific War was different: more 'downtime', more contact with the Japanese and Americans, closer to home, a shorter war. Fifteen men have been interviewed, six served in the Army; five in the Navy and four in the Air Force. Army experiences include the garrison in Fiji, life in New Caledonia, time in Guadalcanal and the attacks on Vella Lavella, Nissan/Green Island and Mono Island (the first opposed landing New Zealanders had taken part in since Gallipoli). There are men from the infantry, Divisional Signals, Medical Corps (Field Ambulance), Provosts (military police) and Army Service Corps. One of the naval men was a radar operator working as a coast watcher behind Japanese lines, and met John F Kennedy on the ...

James Frey
James Frey wakes up on a plane, with no memory of the preceding two weeks. His face is cut and his body is covered with bruises. He has no wallet and no idea of his destination. He has abused alcohol and every drug he can lay his hands on for a decade - and he is aged only twenty-three.

Paperback
Author:
Susan Vaught
Jamie is in her final year of high school. She's playing the lead role in the school musical. She's features editor for the student newspaper. She's struggling with college applications. She's in a committed relationship with her boyfriend. And like so many of her friends, she's trying to work out where she fits in the world.

Eyewitness Vietnam
order quantity
NZ$ 55.00 each
Hardback
Author:
Donald L. Gilmore
The Vietnam War was one of the most controversial conflicts of the 20th century. It was also one of the most divisive. American involvement in Vietnam nearly tore the nation apart, and the war's repercussions remain a part of American consciousness. Written by military historian Donald Gilmore and edited by D.M. Giangreco - author of "Eyewitness D-Day" and "Eyewitness Vietnam" traces the history of America's longest war, illuminating its causes, battles and after-effects, its unfolding and unravelling. Accompanied by maps and nearly 250 photographs - many seen here for the first time - each chapter highlights a specific operation and special feature of the fighting, from the Viet Cong's guerrilla tactics to the MIA issue. And, just as in the bestselling "Eyewitness D-Day", numerous interviews with first-hand participants, both American and Vietnamese, present a compelling, intimate, and deeply personal view of this tumultuous time.

Hell or High Water

NZ$ 39.99 each
Paperback
Author:
Neill Atkinson (ed)
Drawn from interviews with the men who were there in the darkest days of a bloody and terrible conflict,
Hell or High Water
includes many stirring accounts of war at sea.
During WWII thousands of New Zealanders served in New Zealand, British and other Allied merchant marines. Many braved the deadly German U-Boat threat during the Battle of the Atlantic — the longest campaign of the war — and sailed in perilous convoys to Arctic Russia, Malta and other high-risk routes. Others manned transport and hospital ships and took part in the Allied landings in North Africa, Italy and Normandy. According to official statistics 105 Kiwi merchant seafarers were killed, with 128 taken prisoner, five of whom died in Japanese captivity, although these figures are artificially low, with many others listed as general British losses. While these figures are small in comparison to other services, no other civilian group faced such ...
