SIR JOSEPH WARD (1856-1930) was the leading political figure during the
forty-year life of the Liberal Party in New Zealand. He was a member of
Ballance's first Cabinet, twice Prime Minister (1906-12 and 1928-30), and was
still a Cabinet Minister at the time of his death.
This lively biography is the story of an ambitious first-generation New
Zealander of Irish Catholic parents who spent more than half a century in
local and central government politics, influencing the directions taken in
many areas of New Zealand life. It contains much new material about Ward's
private business dealings, his flourishing Southland company, his bankruptcy
and his remarkable rehabilitation. Michael Bassett reveals a genial,
courteous, fast-talking man of vision who nevertheless experienced
difficulty adapting to a changing world. Bassett writes with the insight
into political life of a former cabinet minister.
