Book Synopsis In Love and War: Kiwi soldiers' romantic encounters by : Susan Jacobs
Download or read book In Love and War: Kiwi soldiers' romantic encounters written by Susan Jacobs and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2012-04-26 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When New Zealand forces arrived in Italy following the 1943 Armistice with the Allied forces, it was inevitable they would mingle with the local population. The Italians opened their homes and hearts to the New Zealand soldiers who delighted in finding young Italian signorinas everywhere. In Love and War tells of the liaisons and love affairs of New Zealand soldiers and their Italian sweethearts during World War Two. For some the result was marriage, leading to a new and often strained life for the Italian war brides on the other side of the world. For others, their wartime romance ended in heartbreaking separation when the Kiwi soldiers were posted elsewhere or returned home. Unknowingly, some left behind children who would grow up without ever meeting their natural fathers. While the New Zealand commanding officers did their very best to curtail fraternisation between Kiwi soldiers and the civilian population, for servicemen starved of female company relationships were easy to fall into. These touching stories of their romantic wartime encounters reveal the human side of war.

Book excerpt: 'As the vehicle gathered speed, I slung over the tailboard and ran . . . I saw the look of horror on the face of the guard. His frantic cries of "Halt! Halt!" rang in my ears as I lumbered down the street. Clear by a few hundred metres, I turned to wave a triumphant farewell.' - Peter Winter '. . whatever the immediate future held, at this moment I was alive and free. I have never been able to recapture in retrospect the fullness of that moment.' - James Hargest 'We had three fairly distinct approaches: tunnelling - slow, laborious, but relatively safe; finess, requiring disguise, acting ability, and a quick wit; and surprise, often needing good judgement, physical fitness, and a willingness to take a risk.' - Allan Yeoman During the Second World War many New Zealanders fell into enemy hands. Most were soldiers fighting in North Africa and Europe. This collection, edited by Matthew Wright, recounts our escapers' tales in their own words. We join R.H. Thomson in his daring leaps from railway wagons, hike with Fred Stuckey through the Yugoslav back country, tramp with George Clifton across the North African desert, learn what kind of welcome awaited the successful escapers in Madrid. And we discover what kept hope alive in the railway project from hell - the line Japan forced its prisoners to build between Thailand and Burma.

Download or read book Guns and Utu written by Matthew Wright and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'So they went forth, and they were given over to death by the guns.' -Rangipito, of Ngati Rahiri In the two decades before the Treaty of Waitangi, New Zealand was ripped asunder by island-spanning waves of warfare, extreme violence and cannibalism. Great war parties surged the length of the land to avenge historic grievances, killing and burning as they went. Whole peoples were uprooted and found new homes. Despite the name given them by history, one thing we can be certain about is that these dramatic conflicts were not simply 'musket' wars. This was an age of courage, of heroism, of great character and of astonishing deeds. And they are not dead history. Twenty-first-century New Zealand has been profoundly shaped by them, not least in the location of most of the major cities. In Guns and Utu, historian Matthew Wright disputes the many mythologies of these wars, examining some of the whys and wherefores of this generation-long culture collision. 'A spectacular book.' -Don Rood, Radio New Zealand National
