About this book

A Kiwi Battler's Tale of Politics, Trade, and Triumph

Delve into the extraordinary life of Mike Moore, New Zealand's last working-class Prime Minister, in this compelling biography. From a childhood marked by poverty in rural Northland to becoming a trade unionist and the country's youngest MP, Moore's journey is a testament to resilience and determination.

Based on intimate conversations with Moore and reflections from those who shaped his path, this narrative unveils key moments: his fight against cancer, his role in David Lange's rise, his brief but impactful premiership, and his audacious leadership at the World Trade Organization. Discover a remarkable New Zealand story that celebrates an ordinary Kiwi achieving extraordinary things. Perfect for readers interested in New Zealand history, political biographies, and tales of social change.
