A Self-Determining New Zealander's Life Story, Told By His Son
By: Strategic Book Publishing and Rights Co, LLC
 
Sept. 22, 2014 - PRLog -- Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency is pleased to announce the release of its newest title, Confidence in Adversity: A Biography of Guy Macpherson, by author Reynold Macpherson.

About the Book

This extraordinary biography is about a quintessential New Zealander and the impact he had on others over a tumultuous lifetime. He lived from 1918 to 2003, and was deeply affected by the 1930s Depression and World War II. Guy Macpherson then made his mark on the far north of New Zealand, though he had minimal formal education.

He was abandoned by his mother and raised by his father and Maori stepmother. His finishing school was the battlefield, fighting in Greece, Crete, and North Africa, only to return home with PTSD. He bought the family “home farm,” married his wartime sweetheart, and raised four boys. After his marriage collapsed, largely due to PTSD, he had another significant relationship before marrying again and raising two more sons. He contributed to local government affairs, rural education, political reforms, and adult literacy.

Guy made a real difference in his community, although his PTSD, then an unknown affliction, left a legacy of troubled relationships between his three eldest sons. This carefully researched and critical biography is of a quintessential 20th-century New Zealander.
