The Sorrow and the Pride: New Zealand War Memorials

GP Books, 1990. Cover faded, spine slightly creased.

Among the issues which are explored in this wide-ranging book are the relations of Pakeha and Maori, the meaning of Empire and Nation to New Zealanders, the role of women in the organising of monuments, the nature of community, the history of sculpture and architecture in this country. Illustrated with over 150 of the authors' superb photographs, this book is a surprisingly revealing journey into the New Zealand mentality; and a loving tribute to those New Zealanders who have died in war.
