This book is a hidden treasure for those interested in Canadian political history. It contains an incredibly readable yet incredibly detailed-as the subheading describes: "intimate portrait of the Liberal Party".
Published in 1982, it is a genuine shame that no follow-up volume was ever completed by McCall. Packed with fascinating stories of the internal mechanisms of the liberal machine and the philosophies, networks, and power brokers that supply movement to that machine, this book delights in setting up and then toppling hopes for a truly moral leadership system.
Unfailingly honest in the impracticality of visionaries and dreamers within the Canadian political landscape, the author presents a party of people who genuinely desire the good of the country working alongside cutthroat and power hungry vainglories.
This book is deserving of a new edition and lease on life, and needs a worthy author to take up the pen and wrote the follow-up volume (or two), bringing the story to the current.
