Book reviews posted at Capital Defence. © Darcy Waters 2002-4

The book reviews presented here are books about military sites in New Zealand. Some of them are "out of print" meaning that they are no longer being produced by the publishers. However if you keep your eye out in the second hand stores you might just be able to find a copy. Alternatively your local public library (in New Zealand) might be able to do an "interloan" from the National Library.

The books reviewed here have all been published in New Zealand unless specifically stated.

I have not "scored" these books with any kind of points system partly due to the fact that they have not all been published around the same time, nor have they all been published using the same printing processes.
