Description

Where The Prize Is Highest. The stories of the New Zealanders who have won the Victoria Cross. In the years since the award was first created by Queen Victoria during the Crimean War, twenty-eight New Zealanders have won the Victoria Cross (1972) for "some single act of valour or devotion to their country." There were men from many different walks of life - office workers, farmers, regular soldiers, engineers, carpenters, professional men - but all with one common denominator - not just supreme courage, but the ability to take swift decisive action in the face of extreme danger. The dust jacket has several small closed tears and light general wear but the book remains in a very tidy condition. Previous owners name or inscription on inside front page.
