Book excerpt: When Wiremu Maopo left his home at Taumutu, near Christchurch, to join the 2nd Maori Contingent in the First World War, only his sister and father were still alive from a family that had once numbered 15 but had been decimated by disease. Then, as at the war's outbreak, Wiremu was unaware that his Pakeha girlfriend, Phoebe Prentice was pregnant. The Last Maopo retraces the lives of both Wiremu and Phoebe in a tale of hardship, prejudice and endurance that spans New Zealand and the Western Front. Wiremu was believed to be the last Maopo when he died in 1929, and Ngai Tahu closed the whakapapa lines on the family.

Book excerpt: The New Zealand soldiers who left these shores to fight in the First World War represented one of the greatest collective endeavours in the nation’s history. Over 100,000 men and women would embark for overseas service and almost 60,000 of them became casualties. For a small nation like New Zealand this was a tragedy on an unimagined scale. Using their personal testimony, this book reveals what these men experienced – the truth of their lives in battle, at rest, at their best and their worst. Through a comprehensive and sympathetic scrutiny of New Zealand soldiers’ correspondence, diaries and memoirs, a compelling picture of the New Zealand soldier’s war from general to private is revealed. This is not a campaign history of dry facts and detail. Rather, it examines minutely the everyday experience of trench life in all its shapes and forms. Diverse topics such as barbed wire, the use of the bayonet, gas attacks, rats, horses, food, communal singing, infectious diseases and much more feature in this riveting account of the New Zealand soldier in the First World War. It is the story of ordinary men thrust into the most extraordinary circumstances imaginable. Written in an accessible style aimed at the interested general reader, the book is the product of a substantial amount of research. The text is complemented by a range of maps, illustrations, graphs and diagrams.
