EDMUND BOHAN

Burdon: A Man Of Our Time

Hazard Press Publishers 2004 Paperback, 296pp. "It would be easy to make assumptions about someone like Philip Burdon. The product of a long line of landed gentry going back to the fourteenth century, and of well-heeled pilgrims on Canterbury's First Four Ships, brought up and educated as one of South Canterbury's privileged landowners, a distinguished old boy of Christ's College - and a self-made multimillionaire to boot. Burdon might appear to be the archetypal New Zealand Anglocentric conservative. The truth is very different. This man is also a passionate republican, a businessman with an acute social conscience, a liberal politician who fought relentlessly against the right-wing ideologues of his own National Party, and not only slowed their extremist free-market reforms but convinced his caucus that this philosophy must wear a human face. As Minister of Trade Negotiations, he steered New Zealand through the labyrinth of GATT reforms that made up the Uruguay Round, oversaw a tremendous expansion of New Zealand's trading links into the Middle East, Asia and south and Central America, and championed the cause of regional economic development in the Pacific-Asia area. And, especially through the Asia 2000 Foundation, he has striven for multi-racial harmony and to encourage New Zealand's Asian community to take a full part in this country's public affairs. But this is much more than the biography of a complex and interesting man. Critically acclaimed historian Edmund Bohan has also created a fascinating, lively and important portrait of an extraordinary period in New Zealand's history. ", (ISBN: 9781877270901). Near Mint.

To Be a Hero: Sir George Grey, 1812-1898

HarperCollins, Auckland, Eastern Australia, 1998. 1st Edition, Hardcover, Illustrated by: Various Contemporary. Very Good/Very Good. 800 g; 374, (10) pages, with endnotes, bibliography, and index, and illustrated with the text with black-and-white plates. Photographic illustrated dustjacket. The dustjacket has a 0.5 inch split at the bottom right-hand corner on the fold over crease, otherwise, apart from very slight rubbing to the bottom of the front board, the book is without damage. Just as Australians claim anyone from New Zealand who does well for their own, the New Zealanders have done the same for this Lisbon born British gentleman, whose father died at Badajoz in the Peninsular War. Admittedly, he served time in Australia, was a governor of South Australia, and again a governor from 1845 through 53, and then from 1861 -- 68 in New Zealand where he stoked the fires of the New Zealand Wars. This comprehensive biography, by one of New Zealand's leading historians, is the 1st full account of Grey's life to be published in 35 years. It contains significant new material, and is a timely re-evaluation of a complex and fascinating man, whose influence was decisive in his time and has continued to have an effect to the present day. Size: 8 vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall. Illustrator: Various Contemporary. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.
