Corruption substantiated
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Excellent expose on the Mulroney administration. What we all suspected has been extremely well researched and summarised. It's a national embarrassment that this man due to his legal and political connections is untouchable. This book should be compulsory reading for any Canadian history student so that Canada does not, through inept choice of leaders, repeat the mistakes of the past.
Courageous Eye Opener

Ms. Cameron's book landed like a bombshell on the Canadian political scene. I suspect that her book is one of the main reasons the Tories have never been able to recover from the disgraceful orgy of corruption during the Mulroney years. Rather than write up a dry, abstract political analysis that no one would read, she just lets the facts speak for themselves. Since she names all kinds of crooks, it's a testimony to her journalistic integrity that not one Tory ever tried to sue her. In fact, I've never heard any Tory ever dare to criticize her wonderful book. In fact, I don't know how anyone can, in all conscience, stay in that party after reading her book. I hope some day she'll do a similar book on the Liberals. Finally, I must express my personal admiration for a journalist not afraid to take on the establishment and show the rest of us exactly how the ruling class rules. This is a "must read". By the way, I am in no way associated with the author or the publisher.
