Please See All Photos. - The First Full-Scale Biography Of Canada'S First Prime Minister In Half A Century By One Of Our Best-Known And Most Highly Regarded Political Writers. The First Volume Of Richard Gwyn'S Definitive Biography Of John A. Macdonald Follows His Life From His Birth In Scotland In 1815 To His Emigration With His Family To Kingston, Ontario, To His Days As A Young, Rising Lawyer, To His Tragedy-Ridden First Marriage, To The Birth Of His Political Ambitions, To His Commitment To The All-But-Impossible Challenge Of Achieving Confederation, To His Presiding, With His Second Wife Agnes, Over The First Canada Day Of The New Dominion In 1867. Colourful, Intensely Human And With A Full Measure Of Human Frailties, Macdonald Was Beyond Question Canada'S Most Important Prime Minister. This Volume Describes How Macdonald Developed Canada'S First True National Political Party, Encompassing French And English And Occupying The Centre Of The Political Spectrum. To Perpetuate This Party, Macdonald Made Systematic Use Of Patronage To Recruit Talent And To Bond Supporters, A System Of Politics That Continues To This Day. Gwyn Judges That Macdonald, If Operating On A Small Stage, Possessed Political Skills?Of Manipulation And Deception As Well As An Extraordinary Grasp Of Human Nature?Of The Same Calibre As The Greats Of His Time, Such As Disraeli And Lincoln. Confederation Is The Centerpiece Here, And Gywn'S Commentary On Macdonald'S Pivotal Role Is Original And Provocative. But His Most Striking Analysis Is That The Greatest Accomplishment Of Nineteenth-Century Canadians Was Not Confederation, But Rather To Decide Not To Become Americans. Macdonald Saw Confederation As A Means To An End, Its Purpose Being To Serve As A Loud And Clear Demonstration Of The Existence Of A National Will To Survive. The Two Threats Macdonald Had To Contend With Were Those Of Annexation By The United States, Perhaps By Force, Perhaps By Osmosis, And Equally That Britain Just Might Let That Annexation Happen To Avoid A Conflict With The Continent'S New And Unbeatable Power. Gwyn Describes Macdonald As "Canada'S First Anti-American." And In Pages Brimming With Anecdote, Insight, Detail And Originality, He Has Created An Indelible Portrait Of "The Irreplaceable Man,"?The Man Who Made Us. "Macdonald Hadn'T So Much Created A Nation As Manipulated And Seduced And Connived And Bullied It Into Existence Against The Wishes Of Most Of Its Own Citizens. Now That Confederation Was Done, Macdonald Would Have To Do It All Over Again: Having Conjured Up A Child-Nation He Would Have To Nurture It Through Adolescence Towards Adulthood. How He Did This Is, However, Another Story." "He Never Made The Least Attempt To Hide His "Vice," Unlike, Say, His Contemporary, William Gladstone, With His Sallies Across London To Save Prostitutes, Or Mackenzie King With His Crystal-Ball Gazing. Not Only Was Macdonald Entirely Unashamed Of His Behaviour, He Often Actually Drew Attention To It, As In His Famous Response To A Heckler Who Accused Him Of Being Drunk At A Public Meeting: "Yes, But The People Would Prefer John A. Drunk To George Brown Sober." There Was No Hypocrisy In Macdonald'S Make-Up, Nor Any Fear. ?From John A. Macdonald.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. A tight and unmarked copy-" The Secret Mulroney Tapes is an outrageous and intimate portrait of a Canadian prime minister, as told in his own words. There has never been a political book like this, and there will almost certainly never be another. Peter C. Newman, the author of books about John Diefenbaker, Lester B. Pearson and Pierre Elliott Trudeau, as well as 2004s number-one bestselling memoir, Here Be Dragons: Telling Tales of People, Passion and Power, has done it again. He has written twenty-two books that have sold two million copies, and earned him the title of Canadas most cussed and discussed political commentator. Here, his no-holds-barred profile of Canadas most controversial and most reviled prime minister breaks new ground. Compiled from years of candid, taped conversations with Mulroney and the people closest to him while he was in power, the sometimes uproarious and often disturbing interviews 7,400 pages of transcripts totaling 1.8 million words have been sealed until now. Stunningly indiscreet and savagely frank, Mulroney is the first prime minister to be so nakedly outspoken. Yet he is also revealed as a witty Irish charmer, ready with a quick line to raise a laugh, no matter how impudent or profane, a man as warm in private as he was defensive in the public eye. Mulroney names the names and spills the beans about what really goes on in Ottawa, which he describes as a sick city that runs on goddamned incest: Theyre all married to one another. Theyre shacked up with one another. Their wives are on the payroll of the CBC. Its just awful. Lucien Bouchard, his one-time soulmate, he calls bitter and profane and extraordinarily vain. He writes off his constitutional foe, former Newfoundland premier Clyde Wells, as an unprincipled son of a bitch. His disgust for the press is as monumental as his sense of being misunderstood, and in his eyes the Ottawa press corps are a phony bunch of bastards who dont give him credit even when the world applauds him for being one of the three men who played the most important role in the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Out of The Secret Mulroney Tapes emerges a startling picture of the politician whose reign shocked and appalled and yet also revolutionized this country. No other prime minister in Canadian history aroused a stronger emotional response than Brian Mulroney. This book provides Canadians with a unique insight into the bold politician who changed their country like no other.".
