"In May 1943, Lance Sergeant Haane Manahi of 28th Ma¿¿ori Battalion was recommended for a Victoria Cross by four Allied generals, including Freyberg and Montgomery, for his astonishing feats of bravery at Takrouna, Tunisia. However, the award was mysteriously downgraded to a Distinguished Conduct Medal. This biography of Haane Manahi details Manahi's courageous acts during the battle in the Second World War and uncovers the events surrounding the Victoria Cross recommendation and its downgrading"-- Back cover.
