Overview
Drawn from more than 500 of the author’s newspaper columns (mostly from the Toronto Star), this collection represents the best articles of one New Democratic Party (NDP) member’s journey through the Mulroney-Reagan-Bush years. Divided into thematic groupings, the essays deal with such issues as Canadian-American relations, Canadian foreign and cultural policy, and the rise to power of provincial NDP governments.
