They called him “Luigi’. In fact, they’ve called him lots of things. Love him or loathe him, there’s no denying Winston Raymond Peters is a force of nature.
He’s the former school teacher brought to tears by a class of 11 year olds. He’s the former blast furnace worker for BHP Australia. He’s the man who helped inspire Dame Whina Cooper’s Land March in 1975. He’s the man credited with the introduction of the proportional voting system we now use.
But there’s another side to Winston Peters. He’s the man whose campaign against business and political corruption forced an inquiry and birthed a major new political party.
Along the way, Peters has entertained and infuriated his friends and foes in almost equal measure. He has known utter defeat, and absolute triumph; experienced total loyalty, and abject betrayal.
Winston is the most fascinating unauthorised political biography you’re likely to read, tracing the greatest hits and misses of the most dramatic career in NZ politics since World War 2.

This is a great read. You may or may not agree with Winston but after reading this I am sure you will have a new respect for what he has done for New Zealand politics. We are certainly blessed living in NZ and having politicians who have believed in and worked hard for NZ and has given us one of the best countries to live in. Winston is one of those politicians and this book exposes his Everest highs and his plunging lows.... and if you are like me you may want to shake his hand and say '' Thanks ''Product details

Winston The Story Of A Political Phenomenon edition by Ian Wishart Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
Insight in to New Zealand politics from 1980s through to 2014. Reminded me how corrupt so called good governments can be. I see no reason to suspect it continues to this day. Great read which I thoroughly enjoyed
Very good he's my favorite politian
Autobiographies and in cases biographies (at the request of the subject matter) often reflect a form of narcissism— that the subject matter seriously believes that they are God’s gift and should be extolled in the highest of places and remembered in history for their greatness. These are therefore books I would normally avoid reading. In this case though, when I was lent the book, ‘Winston’, by Ian Wishart, I was delighted and within days had read cover to cover. I was not disappointed with this well researched and interesting chronology.
Normally a book about a politician is a put down particularly if it involves politics in another country. Politicians do not score high on the popularity or creditability ratings as Wishart sets out in this book quote
“Listen, I’m a politician which means I’m a cheat and a liar, and when I’m not kissing babies
I’m stealing their lollipops. But it also means I keep my options open.”
Winston, though, is an exception to this perception and this book is far more than just about Winston and New Zealand politics. It involves crooked business men and corruption and extends far beyond the shores of New Zealand. Winston is unbelievably honest and when the going gets tough Winston has got going. Over 30 years in the New Zealand parliament he has instigated more positive change and exposed more corruption than any other politician. In standing for the truth he has be expelled from his political party despite looking to have a bright future where he could have become leader and New Zealand’s first Maori Prime Minister. This did not stop Winston from forming his own political party and over the years being returned to parliament time and time again against the best of predictions. Winston is a battler, survivor and hero, and worth reading about and an easy read though Wishart does tend to digress at times.

loved it
Definitely worth a read. Great insight to a complex character.
Such an intelligent man who is doing a lot of good for the normal people of the country
Interesting look at NZ politics of that time.
This is a great read. You may or may not agree with Winston but after reading this I am sure you will have a new respect for what he has done for New Zealand politics. We are certainly blessed living in NZ and having politicians who have believed in and worked hard for NZ and has given us one of the best countries to live in.
