Not Only Affairs of State - an Autobiography
Title:
Not Only Affairs of State - an Autobiography
Hunn, Jack Kent
$20.00

The Dumore Press, 1982. Good second-hand condition.

Sir Jack Hunn is one of New Zealand’s most distinguished public servants. No sooner had he achieved eminence and respect as a Public Service Commissioner than successive governments were calling upon him to undertake a wide variety of special assignments, from leading official enquiries to representing this country at the United Nations. His career brought him into contact with prime ministers, diplomats, departmental heads, and literally thousands of civil servants, both at home and abroad. He received greatest acclaim for the Hunn Report, a document of exceptional liberality and foresight that promoted the moral and legal rights of the Maori people. Sir Jack’s autobiography, Not Only Affairs of State, tells of riots in New Zealand and Singapore, reports into New Zealand’s defence forces, fire safety and wildlife, his response to Vietnam and to union with Australia, ANZUS, the rediscovery of his English kin, missions to Thailand, Guyana and the United Nations, and a host of people met and enjoyed along the way. It also takes us beyond the committee rooms and the corridors of power. Growing up as a typical country boy in a typical New Zealand family, he shares with us his boyhood and youth, and reveals the 'making of a New Zealander' in appealing and vivid style.
