Description

Ripped Apart : A City in Chaos Bob Parker's Story. 'During earthquakes that battered Christchurch, Bob's tireless and unflappable communications gained him wide respect. He so impressed the American TV network, NBC, it broadcast to the world that New York, after 9/11 had Rudy Giuliani. Christchurch, after February, had Bob Parker. Within months of his triumphs the tide appeared to have turned. The Minister of Earthquake Recovery, Gerry Brownlee, dubbed him "a clown"; his own council was dysfunctuinal; and Government, not the council controlled the city's rebuild. Ripped Apart reveals the arguments, indecision, petty jealousies, power struggles and policies that occurred within the groups managing the city through its crises. These are balanced with glimpses of dedication, courage, compassion and a unique vision. It is Bob Parker's story about people behind the scenes and events that have Riooed Apart Christchurch, not just physically, but politically and emotionally.'
