The Rise of New Zealand Labour - A History of the New Zealand Labour Party From 1916 to 1940

Published by Price Milburn, 1962.

Formed, after several false starts, in 1916, the Labour Party first won office with a crushing victory in the general election of 1935, then enjoyed an unbroken span of fourteen years in government and enacted many social and economic measures which now form the basis of New Zealand's welfare state.

This is an able and analytical book which will be of interest to all students of Labour politics in Britain and the Commonwealth.
