Across the Sea to War : Australia and New Zealand Troop Convoys from 1865 Through Two World Wars to Korea and Vietnam - Plowman Peter - 2003

$33.00
DESCRIPTION
504 pages. Covers have no creasing or wear. Spine is uncreased. Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. Australia and New Zealand have a proud record of sending troops overseas to fight for Great Britain when conflicts have arisen over the years. This book chronicles the transporting of these troops by ship to overseas destinations, starting with the Sudan Campaign in 1865, which was followed by participation in the Boer War at the turn of the century. This is a story that has never been told before, about an aspect of war that has been largely overlooked by military historians. However, without the convoys, the outcome of the entire war would have been very different. This is far more than a book about ships, or the war in general. It is a very different, yet highly compelling story of men thrust into dangerous situations, who coped with daily life with the courage and humour that was typical of the average soldier. The book will be an essential addition to the library of anyone with an interest in military history, naval history, maritime history, the Second World War, or the great liners of the past. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Military & Warfare; ISBN: 1877058068. ISBN/EAN: 9781877058066. Inventory No: 19060255.
