Includes bibliographical references (pages 458-478) and index.
A member of the first Labour government in the turbulent 1930s, Arnold Nordmeyer played a major role in shaping the social security system we have today, and was a groundbreaking Minister of Health. In 1958, as Minister of Finance, he delivered the controversial 'Black Budget" which was to be Labour's nemesis - though Nordmeyer himself has been vindicated by history. This sympathetic biography traverses a 20th-century political landscape where Savage, Lee, Fraser, Holland, Nash, Holyoake and Kirk loom large. Throughout it all Nordy stands out as a humble, principled and astute politician who made a profound contribution to this country.
