John A Lee - Erik Olssen

"John A. Lee is one of the most colourful characters to have appeared on the New Zealand political scene. Delinquent, soldier, early member of the Labour Party, author of novels which shocked New Zealand by looking underneath the kowhais, Under-Secretary for Housing, antagonist of the revered Michael Savage, leader, after his expulsion, of the short-lived Democratic Labour Party, editor of John A. Lee's Weekly, in later years he became a grand old man with enough asperity to attract those who never knew the first Labour Government -- and honorary graduate of the University of Otago. In this sympathetic biography Erik Olssen traces his career and tries to account for his troubles as well as his triumphs." -- Jacket.
