A handsome hardback with photographs, cartoons, posters, press clippings and first-hand accounts, Voices of World War II provides an invaluable and illuminating snapshot of how life was lived during this extraordinary time. The book covers from just before the war until 1946 and after the war. In the introduction, the publisher says, 'Much as been written about World War II, but this book has been largely written by New Zealanders at home and overseas who lived through it, and this volume gives them a voice.' It more than gives them a voice; it allows younger generations to step back in time and experience life as it was then. Voices of World War II is a compelling account of real-life people at various stages during the conflict. The book's design makes it easy to dip in and out of, and the selected images add considerably to the well-written text and selection of quotes. This is well put together volume, and I'm sure it will be of interest to people from many generations, both the young and the old. * NZ Booklovers *
