In the 1980s, Maurice Shadbolt began to research New Zealand's part in the tragic Gallipoli campaign of 1915 - research which was to lead to his stage play Once on Chunuk Bair, a television documentary, and this book Voices of Gallipoli. Voices of Gallipoli is compelling testimony to a pilgrimage which began and ended with visits to Turkey's haunted Gallipoli peninsula where the bones of nearly 3000 New Zealanders rest. To tell their story Maurice Shadbolt read through official documents, memoirs, war histories and diaries furtively kept by New Zealanders during their cruel seven months on the peninsula. He also talked to many of the small and diminishing band of veterans with vivid memories of the long, futile and ferocious battles that took so many New Zealand lives. Most of these soldiers had never brought themselves to talk honestly of Gallipoli before. Some had never talked of it at all. All knew that it was their last chance to confide their remarkable tales of suffering and survival. Maurice Shadbolt tells their stories with skill and lucidly backgrounds the campaign they survived. It is a remarkable document: the distilled memories of a dozen old men who innocently set out to do battle as loyal sons of the British Empire and returned home betrayed, embittered and disillusioned - and New Zealanders

"The setting of Maurice Shadbolt's dramatic new novel is vast: the third of our planet we call the Pacific. So is its theme: the survival of man in our time. This is the story of the protest yacht Moana Nui and the four men--and perhaps a dead woman--who sail her into the French nuclear test zone about Mururoa Atoll ... These are men bound for collision not only with the French navy, in their frail yacht, but also with the deadliest truth in our century, the nuclear cloud which shadows the eart. From one of the most vivid and heroic protests in recent history--that of the tiny boats which New Zealanders sialed into the Mururoa danger zone in the 1970s, thereby helping end French atmospheric tests in the Pacific--Maurice Shadbolt has distilled a strange and memorable story. it is also tense and exciting as any our time may have to tell"--Jacket

"High summer in Te Makutu... the scent of new-mown grass bleaching in the sun ... Linda East playiong at the open window of her father's house ... Even in the city, so far from Te Makutu, the picture remained to haunt him, faint but strangely permanent. He was living it up in the city with someone else's wife, and he had never exchanged more than a few stilted sentences with Linda, yet it was Linda he thought of most. He was trying to lose himself in politics and the glare of the city lights, but those faint images of a lost and unmourned childhood persisted. So he went back at last to Te Makutu to pick up the threads; to recapture the dream if he could, and forget it if he couldn't; to satisfy himself. He followed it 12,000 miles, to Europe: Budapest in that tragic, magnificent October of 1956; London, the artistic Mecca of all the young New Zealand emigrés; and finally a quiet sunlit island where the dream slipped away beyond recall and he was safe. ..."--Book jacket
