The Penguin Book of New Zealand War Writing presents a rich interplay of writing about our country's many military engagements. It features creative responses to conflict such as a waiata written about an inter-tribal skirmish, short stories on the World Wars, extracts from plays and novels set in such campaigns as Chunuk Bair and Vietnam, and works by various poets, including James K.Baxter, Eileen Duggan, Dneis Glover, Allen Curnow and Robert Sullivan. There are vivid accounts by journalists reporting home as well as by soldiers recalling their experiences in the trenches, the desert or in the air.
