The final programme in the coverage of the Press Christchurch Writers' Festival session brings together four writers who have taken very different approaches towards representing the Second World War: Patrica Grace, Markus Zusak, Julian Novitz, and Alison Parr. Is fiction or non-fiction better at capturing the immediacy and intensity of armed conflict? The session's chaired by Alan Marriott.
