Description

Jim Anderton, the Labour rebel who founded a new political movement and became deputy prime minister, is the subject of this compelling, warts-and-all biography by award-winning historian David Grant.Anderton: His Life and Times tells the story of Anderton' s greatest triumphs, including founding state-owned Kiwibank and successfully holding his electorate seat while leading three different political parties. It also includes his failures as a politician and as a father who put his political career ahead of his family. Anderton emerges as a charismatic leader whose stubborn self-confidence inspired legions of voters but also alienated many in his own camp.
