In this fresh account of one of the 20th-century's great New Zealanders,
Matthew Wright approaches Bernard Freyberg the man rather than the more
widely known figure of a military leader. What took a humble immigrant
child in Wellington to become a hero in two wars, friend to literary
giants and politicians, very private father and husband, and very public
Governor General? Freyberg: A Life is the most accessible biography on
'Tiny' Freyberg yet, with numerous black and
white photos.
