"With total honesty tinged with wry humour he has related his strange relationship with his mother, his turbulent youth and his determination to claw his way upwards.  As a cocky youngster he had to learn everything the hard way.  in a succession of dead-end jobs he trod on many toes before this driving energy and ingenuity gave him his breakthrough into the world of showmanship.
When New Zealand became too small to hold his ambitions he carved a place for himself in Australia, where he introduced such entertainers as Sammy Davis Jr, Louis Armstrong, the Rolling Stones, Shelley Berman, the tragic Judy Garland, and a host of others famous personalities.  His book gives many sidelights on the greats and not-so-greats of the frenetic world of showbiz."
