商品簡介
Canadian prairie boy raised in the Social Gospel tradition who studied politics at Princeton at
the height of John F. Kennedy's Camelot and marched for civil rights in Alabama before
returning to Canada and embarking on an illustrious political career of his own at the height
of Trudeaumania.
Axworthy served twenty-one years in parliament, more than half of those in the cabinets of
Pierre Trudeau, John Turner, and Jean Chretien. With extraordinary candor and introspection, he
invites readers inside his roles in some of the most important political stories of the last half
century, including the enactment of Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the great debate
over the Canada-US free trade agreement, and the global fights to ban landmines and establish
the International Criminal Court. He illuminates such monumental events as the turnover of
Hong Kong and Princess Diana's funeral (at which he was Canada's official representative), and
offers unforgettable vignettes of encounters with a range of characters from Fidel Castro to the
Māori Queen. Acutely aware of the trials and disappointments of political life, he frankly
discusses its sometimes devastating effect on personal relations and the difficulties of balancing
socially progressive ideals with the often brutal requirements of political power.
