Jean Chretien: My Years as Prime Minister

Chretien sparkles**** November 25, 2007


After all the controversy surrounding Adscam and the Gomery Inquiry, many of us have forgotten the accomplishments of Jean Chretien's years as Prime Minister. In the memoir Chretien reminds us of a long string of things accomplished under his leadership. This book is written in a lively style that reminds us of Chretien's folksy public persona while in office. It reads as if he is talking to the reader , recounting tales of his years as PM. He does not get bogged down in detail but keeps to the highlights. This is a delightful account, filled with insight, wit and, surprisingly, very little bitterness exhibited towards the man who worked to undermine him in his quest for the throne.

Recommended.
