Index included and some illustrations. This is the first volume of the memoirs of Sir John Marshall, a New Zealad statesman who served his country in Parliament from election in 1946 to his retirement in 1976. In it he recounts his life from childhood up to the year 1960, when the National Party under Keith Holyoake returned to govern after defeating Labour under Walter Nash.
The writing reflects the writer's personality. It has a disarming honesty and humour, but his liberal and compassionate outlook is inseperable from a firmness and shrewdness, and a sense of principle, that are typical of his Scottish ancestry.
