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.

This Purchase Is Worth It!
Color: White, Color: White
I got the charger and within 30 minutes my phone went from 2% to 96%, this charger is absolutely great! My old charger went out and the ones that were in store were garbage so I ordered on Amazon and it came within the next 4 hours and works perfectly! The length is great as well, I didn’t expect it to be so long which was a plus! 10/10 Definitely Recommend !

Great fast chargers for everyday use
Color: White
These chargers work really well and charge my iPhone quickly. I like that the pack comes with two chargers and long cables, which is super convenient for home and travel. The cables feel durable and the charging connection is stable. Good value for the price and no issues so far.

Great Fast Charging Cords
Color: White
My wife and I bought these when we had some traveling coming up and wanted to make sure our phones would stay charged. I'm very happy we did.
The cords felt high quality as soon as we opened the package, so I'm confident they will last longer than our previous charging cords did. They are also SO LONG! If you've never used cords this long before, its a life changer. Being able to sit several seats away from the outlet at the airport and still have your charging cord reach is great. And, as the name would suggest, they do in fact charge your phone incredibly quickly. Overall I'm super happy with these cords, and if they ever wear out I'll be rebuying.

Very good product for the price!
Color: White
This is a two pack and it works very well with the charge being very fast. I have not noticed any overheating because of the fast charge.
I did not expect that the cord would be 6 ft and I was so pleased. I also like the color being white because it makes it easy to spot. Everything is very compact and I am glad that I bought this product.

Solid value and performance for the price, but keep an eye on long-term durability
Color: White
I purchased this 2-pack of 20W chargers with 6ft cables as a cost-effective solution for my iPhone 16 and iPad, and it mostly delivers.The chargers provide proper fast charging, reaching up to a 50% battery in around 30-35 minutes for my iPhone, which matches the performance of more expensive branded chargers. Also getting two complete sets is fantastic for having one at home and one for travel. The 6-foot cable length is very practical. I think there are rooms for improvement. The charger blocks and cable connectors feel a bit lightweight compared to premium brands like Apple's official adapter or Anker's offerings. While they work fine, I'm moderately concerned about how they'll hold up with heavy daily use over many years.
