Description

Scrim. Radio Rebel in Retrospect by Les Edwards. In New Zealand was there ever a year to match 1935 for political sensations? Labour sweeping into office... desperate conservatives jamming 1ZB during the election campaigning and thereby turning Scrim, the popular radio controversialist, into the hero of the hour, the idol of of the man in the street. It all happened only the other day, so to speak, and there are still people who maintain with some show of logic that in fact it was Scrim who won the 1935 election for Labour and that without him there never would have been a Labour Government in New Zealand. How Colin Scrimgeour rose to influence, how politicians and newspaper publishers tried to silence him ... how in the end Labour politic did silence him, the man who made commercial radio too outspoken for them. Here is a story that reads in places as excitingly as melodrama. The dust jacket is well worn but remains complete. The book has a previous owner's name and inscription whited out on the inside front page but the book is still tight and bright.
