Re: Stanton on Newell, 'Operation Goodtime and the Battle of the Treasury Islands, 1943: The World War II Invasion by United States and New Zealand Forces'
As the author of "Operation Goodtime' I would firstly like to thank Margaret Sankey for commissioning the review of my book and for Allyson Stanton for reviewing it.It was my first book on the operations of 3 New Zealand Division fighting alongside American forces in the South Pacific and under overall American command .My other subsequent books are "Vella Lavella","Operation Squarepeg" and "Pacific Star".My intent was to make these operations more well known.They are very much forgotten events in New Zealand history.
