Books

Ex-library (Victory Book Club). Library stamps and markings. Hinges weak. Slanting to spine. ; 204 pages + frontispiece + plates. Green cloth boards. Page dimensions: 182 x 120mm. New Zealand military history, World War II. Although based on true events, this memoir has been told in the form more or less of a historical novel."Some excellent books have already been published on the exploits of the Second Expeditionary Force, and I am sure that this volume will prove second to none in accuracy, faithfulness to colour and readability. I am particularly pleased to have this opportunity of introducing Mr. Wheeler's racy narrative of the Engineers in Greece, as the author and I were closely associated as sappers in the Middle East. I know, from the way I have myself enjoyed reading this book, that it will be welcomed not only by former 2nd N.Z.E.F. Sappers and"Kiwis"generally, but also by all New Zealanders proud of the Second Division's achievements and appreciative of a story well told."- the Foreword by C. F. Skinner, Minister of Rehabilitation ; 12mo
