World War One Book Club

New Zealand Book Council:

We were thrilled to present Event 1 of the World War One Book Club on Tuesday this week. Thank you to all who joined us for stimulating discussion and debate about the war poets.
In the lead up to Event 2: Dispatches from the front we share the event reading list. Peruse the comments by our World War One Book Club panellists and add your own recommendations.
We have a host of thought-provoking features on Booknotes Unbound on World War One books and writing from the likes of Dave Armstrong, C. K. Stead, Nikki Hessell, Jane Tolerton and Kate Camp.
Check out our second World War One Book Club giveaway (we also announce the winner of the previous giveaway).
