Beyond the Battlefield: New Zealand And Its Allies, 1939-45 by Gerald Hensley

'The book examines a key part of New Zealand's history during which time, under the immense pressure of fighting a war on both sides of the world, the country moved from being a quiet and faraway outpost in the Commonwealth to a strong, independent nation playing an influential role in the shaping of the United Nations. New Zealand's sometimes rocky relationships with its wartime allies Great Britain, Australia and the United States during a period of great world turmoil are all exposed and explained in an engaging and thoughtful look into the human side of diplomacy--highlighting the irritants, the cross comments, the subterfuge and intrigue that are the real drivers of history.'.
