Reading age 10 to 13 yrs. Most people know that New Zealand sent a lot of army, navy and air force personnel to East Timor. But going to East Timor is unlike any other 'wartime' mission our defence forces have been involved in. This was called a peace keeping mission, and the aim was to help a country that was in trouble. This book describes why East Timor needed our help and what we did. There are profiles of a soldier, a sailor, a helicopter pilot and a doctor. They describe what they did and what it was like to live in a country that has been at war for a long time.
