520    In 1918, a miner on the run from the military wrote a 
       letter to his sweetheart. Two months later he was in jail.
       Like millions of others, his letter had been steamed open 
       by a team of censors shrouded in secrecy. Using their 
       confiscated mail as a starting point, Dead Letters reveals
       the remarkable stories of people caught in the web of 
       wartime surveillance. Among them were a feisty German-born
       socialist, an affectionate Irish nationalist, a love-
       struck miner, an aspiring Maxim Gorky, and two mystical 
       dairy farmers with a poetic bent. Military censorship 
       within New Zealand meant that their letters were stopped, 
       confiscated, and filed away, sealed and unread for over 
       100 years. Until now.
