Terence O'Brien wrote a diplomatic memoir manuscript before he died but was unable to get in published in time. The O'Brien family took on this task with Te Herenga Waka University Press, and we have finally realised our ambitions!
Brought to you by the O'Brien family in concert with Diplosphere, Te Herenga Waka University Press, and Unity Books. The registration information helps us organise the venue and catering, improve the event experience and understand Terence's impact; it is used anonymously for these purposes, and not passed on to third parties.
