Description

The first of three volumes on an outstanding New Zealand company, this book covers the period 1909-40 and focuses on the work for which Fletcher Construction Co Ltd, with its tower cranes constructing buildings and its bulldozers on civil engineering projects all around the country, is widely known and recognized.

Author description

Author Jack Smith worked for Fletchers for 35 years and tells the story with an insider's knowledge. He dispels several myths and misinterpretations, frankly describes political machinations with the First Labour Government and tensions within the company while documenting all its achievements.
