About Pacific Star: 3NZ Division in the South Pacific in World War II

The war in the South Pacific saw some of the most gruelling fighting of World War Two. Conditions were unpleasant – fetid heat, torrential downpours and hostile flora and fauna – while the Japanese enemy were ruthless and would often fight to the last man. Amphibious warfare, jungle warfare and the need to co-operate with their American allies all meant that extra demands were made on New Zealand soldiers. Yet the war in the South Pacific came to be perceived as an easy war and, with the exception of Guadalcanal, was generally overlooked by historians. From ignorance of what the soldiers were called upon to endure, the notion arose that service in the South Pacific was somehow less worthy than the ‘real war’ in Europe against the Nazis. This attitude continued in the postwar world, and today the soldiers of 3NZ Division are all but forgotten. Pacific Star sets the record straight, shedding new light on the sacrifices and tribulations which the soldiers of 3NZ Division had to endure in the service of the Allied cause. The book covers their initial deployment in Fiji and New Caledonia and describes the major battles the division fought in the Solomons – Vella Lavella, the Treasury Islands and the Green Islands – as well as their sometimes strained relationship with the US military. Reg Newell has interviewed veterans for this important book, which includes new maps and previously unpublished photographs.
