Paekākāriki resident, Penny Ehrhardt helped establish Te Whare Manaaki o Toda,

efforts for a culture of humanistic peace. Penny has published on Aotearoa New

Of the sixteen books that historian David Grant has written, four of them cover
aspects of anti-militarism in both the first and second world wars. They were
invaluable to the author during the production of this book, as was David with his
support. He lives in Wellington, teaches at Victoria University and is the author of
many articles on aspects of anti-militarism.
