World War 1 may yet win the Battle of the Books as another title is added to the barrage of World War 1 histories fired off since 2014. The new book has not the elbow room to explore the topics in the same detail but is a superb springboard for what could well be a dozen books expanding on topics it covers. New Zealand Society at War 1914-1918 drops hints that beg for more background. Win a copy• The ODT has five copies of New Zealand Society at War 1914-1918, edited by Steven Loveridge, to give away courtesy of Victoria University Press. For your chance to win a copy, email helen.speirs@odt.co.nz with your name and postal address in the body of the email, and ‘‘NZ at War Book Competition’’ in the subject line, by 5pm on Tuesday, October 18.
