The 22nd Battalion of New Zealand was the longest serving of the NZ Infantry battalions. Several members later wrote about their experiences. Here is a bibliography of books written by men of the 22nd. There are many other books on the history of the war and New Zealand's contribution that reference the 22nd Battalion in passing. There are many books that examine particular battles that featured the 22nd, such as Crete and Cassino. I have not listed them as many of these books do not capture the reality of the battles as experienced by the men of the 22nd.
