A Fire In Your Belly: Māori Leaders Speak

What makes a Māori leader? Are there common patterns? This book focuses on six outstanding people who have united, mobilised and led large and diverse groups of Māori through great changes.

Sir Tipene O'Regan, Sir Robert Mahuta, Iritana Tawhiwhirangi, Professor Hirini Mead, Professor Whatarangi Winiata and Dr. Pita Sharples speak of their lives, their influences and their challenges.

Written in a highly accessible style, this book is also a collection of compelling and often entertaining reminiscences about the lives of six remarkable New Zealanders.
