Marge Simon's Reviews > Despatches

The five star reviews are pretty much what I'd say -- however, I'll add that I'm amazed how well written this book is, reading as non-fiction, yet a sea monster enters the picture! it's as realistically described as the battles ongoing in the Dardanelles, 1915. I also wasn't alware that the Maori voluntarily fought on the British side so preceding their involvement in World War II. This is a gem of a book. Highly recommended!
