Editoria l Reviews From the Author Researching background material involved drawing on m y own knowledge of New Zealand and in particular Auckland's North Shore where I grew up. Visits to East and West Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Russia in 1 966 had sparked my initial interest in the issue of German occupation. During my research, a European trip that my wife Bess and I took in 2004-5 to cities such as Berlin, Dresden, Prague and Warsaw added considerably to my insight. From t he Back Cover What would life in a democracy like New Zealand have been like if it had been occupied by Nazi Germany? Would New Zealanders have resisted or coll aborated? This well-researched gripping novel paints a realistic picture of what could have happened.Hamish Beavis, a Nazi collaborator and Stuart Johnson, a re sistance member are both in love with beautiful Carol Peterson, who carries a da rk secret. Carol's crucial choice and its repercussions are set against a backgr ound of violence and betrayal in post-war New Zealand under Nazi rule. The story carries conviction and the interplay of Kiwi culture and Nazi overlordship is c onvincingly drawn.Reviewers and readers comments:A fast-paced action filled nove. N° de réf. du vendeur 826r
