Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Since 1943, during war, humanitarian and natural disasters and flashpoints of global tension, one government department has been charged with the critical role of representing New Zealand's interests overseas. In doing so, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (and its predecessors) has needed to respond to ever-evolving political and military allegiances, trade globalisation, economic threats, natural disasters and military conflict on behalf of a small nation that seeks to engage on the global stage while maintaining the principles that underpin its political institutions. For more than 75 years the ministry has been served by some remarkable people, dedicated to an organisation that has reflected New Zealand's developing sense of nationhood and place in world. This history of the foreign service, edited by one of New Zealand's foremost historians, captures the high stakes, skill and intelligence involved in the development of a unique organisation. A remarkable organisation and its pivotal role in this nations international relations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. With nearly 14,000 dead, the Western Front was the most costly of all the campaigns in which New Zealand military personnel have taken part, accounting for two-thirds of New Zealand's fatalities in the First World War. This book covers this participation in all its facets, challenges myths that exist about New Zealand's effort and throws new light on aspects of the involvement. The battles that New Zealand soldiers fought are described in detail, and placed in the wider context of the conflict. The tedium of trench warfare, the terror of going over the top in major attacks and the exhilaration of taking part in the open warfare that concluded the campaign are all part of the story. Includes specially prepared maps to provide details and illustrate specific aspects of all the main battles of the campaign. Ghost of a sticker to the jacket only.…
