In the nearly eleven hundred pages of this book, which is more honest and less pretentious than the autobiography of the same name by Pierre Trudeau, Mr Mulroney still fails to give a full explanation as to why he stacked the Senate in 1990, what he meant when he said he was "rolling the dice" in the brinkmanship on the Meech Lake Accord, and almost no comment whatsoever in the Airbus affair. It would have also been helpful to include the Meech and Charlottetown Accords as appendices so the reader could decide whether they would have been right for Canada or not. Still, this is a fine response to the "Secret Mulroney Tapes" by Peter C. Newman which made Mulroney, imperfect as he is, much worse than reality.
