The Desert Railway
Author: Brendon JuddPublisher: Penguin Books
ISBN: 9780143019152
Category : Military railroads
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
This is the untold story of the hundreds of New Zealand railwaymen - shunters, builders, engine drivers, firemen, engineers - who answered the call to construct and operate a railway network in the Western Desert during the Second World War. Overlooked in other war histories, these men played a significant role in the Allied victory in North Africa. The desert railway became a crucial strategic operation, transporting soldiers, equipment and supplies to the front line, that the Germans were determined to destroy. The various challenges they faced, from relentless bombing, to the dreaded fifty-day-long khamseen winds, to the siege of Tobruk, culminated in the second Battle of El Alamein, during which Field Marshal Montgomery stated, 'Well, now it's the railway versus Rommel.' The Desert Railway is a tribute to the courage and enterprise of these railwaymen who kept the trains running no matter what.

The Double Rainbow

Book Description
"In 1969, New Zealand's best-known poet, James K. Baxter, moved to Jerusalem on the Whanganui River to establish a community under the mana of the local hapū, Ngāti Hau. The Jerusalem commune proved a magnet for disaffected and damaged young people. As the setting for Baxter's celebrated late works, Jerusalem Sonnets, Jerusalem Daybook and Autumn Testament, it quickly became the country's most famous hippie community, as well as a media byword for the idealism and excess of the emerging youth culture. But what was life really like at Jerusalem, beyond the popular stereotypes? And what did it mean, for Ngāti Hau, to be deluged with long-haired strangers and with the media attention which followed them? Here, for the first time, events are reconstructed from the point of view of James K. Baxter's followers and of the local people who accepted them."--Back cover.
