ONCE ON CHUNUK BAIR, Maurice Shadbolt

Maurice Shadbolt was one New Zealand’s most celebrated novelists, playwrights, history-writers and storytellers. In this rarely-performed classic he recreates a tragic episode of modern war: a battle that defined us as a nation. Of the 760 men who reached the summit, 711 become casualties. This is their story. Vivid and visceral, upsetting and uplifting, Once on Chunuk Bair is a searing tribute to the sacrifice made by a generation. It is a tale of tragedy, heroism and heartbreak and, a century after the outbreak of World War One, stands as a masterpiece of remembrance.
