Description
To the Memory: New Zealand’s War Memorials is a fascinating exploration of more than 1000 memorials that stand throughout New Zealand in honour of our wartime heroes.
This beautiful book is based on over 30 years of loving research by leading historian Jock Phillips, and explores the people who erected these memorials and why, and reveals how their diverse forms say much about New Zealand identity and the tragedy of war.
The account begins with the memorials to the New Zealand Wars, explores the sculpted monuments to the South African and First World wars, and the ‘living memorials’ to the Second World War, then concludes with the many imaginative artistic responses of the 2000s.
The story is lavishly illustrated with 293 contemporary and historic photographs and two maps.
