Description

The New Zealand Division's capture of the French town of Le Quesnoy was its last and most successful action in the First World War.

Breaking through defensive lines and scaling the town walls by ladder, the New Zealanders overwhelmed the defenders, freeing the town after years of German occupation.

It was a victory that resounded around the world, and helped convince German high command they could no longer hold the front.

Based on his intimate knowledge of the landscape and those involved, Dr Christopher Pugsley puts together the story with his mastery in drama and detail - producing a book that is thrilling at the same time as a tribute to the New Zealanders who died (and whose details are fully recorded here for the first time).

Strikingly illustrated with maps, photographs and the stunning paintings of the battle by George Butler, Le Quesnoy 1918 will be an inspiring read for this summer and many seasons beyond.
