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 dea 606 $aNew Zealand -- Politics and government 606 $aPrime ministers -- New Zealand -- Biography 606 $aStatesmen -- New Zealand -- Biography 606 $aWard, Joseph, 1856-1930 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aNew Zealand -- Politics and government. 615 4$aPrime ministers -- New Zealand -- Biography. 615 4$aStatesmen -- New Zealand -- Biography. 615 4$aWard, Joseph, 1856-1930. 676 $a993.03/1/092 676 $a993.031092 700 $aBassett$b Michael$0908011 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480593303321 996 $aSir Joseph Ward$92465441 997 $aUNINA
