Max Gunn's Pay Book.

Meticulously researched, authentically told, poetically rendered
Graham Lindsay brings us the story of Max Gunn, a thoughtful and idealistic youth, who leaves New Zealand in 1940 to fight fascism in Europe. His experiences there over the next five years will shadow him for the rest of his life. Lindsay's careful attention detail brings the past to life. We feel like we can taste the broth 'that a turnip has swum through,' hear the songs of the soldiers, and feel the prick of the robinia's thorns.
