Description
Sequel to March to the Sound of the Guns
This is a novel of insights, bold assessments and revelations told by four contrasting characters from the generation whose adult lives were affected forever by World Wars I and II, the Depression, the Spanish Civil War and the domestic upheaval that accompanied the waterfront lockout and protests against the war in Vietnam.
No New Zealand novel about the harrowing experience of our growth towards nationhood has a broader sweep and more detailed grasp of events. It is a masterpiece of times that must never be forgotten.
About the Author
Ray Grover’s highly acclaimed and best selling novel March to the Sound of the Guns was based on exhaustive research and close examination of the battlefields of the First World War and tells at first hand of the experiences of four young New Zealanders caught up in the horrors of trench warfare. Cork of War, an earlier novel, was so well researched that it won the New Zealand Book Award for non-fiction…!
