A remarkable collection of 50 plates, black and white photographs of Canadian political figures, juxtaposed with selected quotes from the subject - there is often more told in a single page here than there is in a Parliamentary session worth of Hansard or in the histories of the curious men and women who are attracted to public life. Revealing, ironic, memorable: what may come back to haunt them! Uncommon. Very Good/No Jacket (as published).
