Description Adapted from the book by Nicky Hager. The so-called 'War on Terror' has been the longest foreign war in NZ history, yet most New Zealanders know almost nothing about our part in it. Since 9/11 the NZ military have successfully duped both public and government over the true nature of our involvement in America's illegal invasion of Afghanistan, hiding behind a cloud of bogus PR tales of 'peacekeeping' and 'humanitarian aid'. As much as John Key wants to dismiss Hager's book as 'a work of fiction', the fact is throughout history whenever America calls, the NZ military answers, regardless of public opinion, morality or even the express commands of government.
