Phoney Wars looks at the lives of New Zealanders during the greatest armed struggle the world has ever seen: the Second World War. It is not a political, economic or military history; rather it explores what life was like during the war years for ordinary people living under the New Zealand flag. It questions the war as a story of â€good’ against â€bad’. All readers know that the Axis powers behaved ruthlessly, but how many are aware of the brutality of the Allied powers in bombing and starving â€enemy’ towns and cities? New Zealand colluded in and even carried out such brutal aggressions. Were we, in going to war, really on the side of the angels? Contrary to the propaganda of the time – and subsequent memory – going to war did not unite New Zealanders: it divided them, often bitterly. People disagreed over whether or not we should fight, what we were fighting for and why, who was fighting, who was paying, and who was dying. In this provocative and moving book, Stevan and Hugh Eldred-Grigg explore New Zealanders’ hopes and fears, beliefs and superstitions, shortages and affluence, rationing and greed, hysteria and humour, violence and kindness, malevolence and generosity, to argue that New Zealand need not have involved itself in the war at all.

good product
Scent: Coconut Leaf
This stuff smells amazing! I love it. The bottle is a little flimsy and collapses on itself as it suctions with the spray but the product itself is great. It removes odors from the air and furniture. Good price point also.

Just Spray and Wipe Away
Scent: Orange Blossom, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Orange Blossom, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Mrs. Meyer’s Pet Multi-Surface cleaner is a great value and high quality product. It’s simple to use and effective at removing odors and messes fast. Personally the aromas are a bit strong lasting in the home for my personal preferences due to sensitivities to smell but it does work on pet odor.
Simple bottle and package with a lovely look but some leakage when spraying. I noticed as using I would have to wipe it down due to some dripping down the bottle. The quality of the packaging may not live up to the quality of the product.
Overall a top pick for a pet cleaner that’s safe for pets!
