Hardcover Book Hell or High Water Paul Martin McClelland & Stewart 2008 My Life in and out of Politics, McClelland & Stewart 2008, Illustrated Size 9.3" x 6.3" x 1.6", weight 38 oz, 504 pages Book and Cover are in Like New condition National bestseller Paul Martin was the Prime Minister we never really knew - in this memoir he emerges as a fascinating flesh and blood man, still working hard to make a better world. Paul Martin - who led the country from 2003 to 2006 - is full of surprises, and his book will reveal a very different man from the prime minister who had such a rough ride in the wake of the sponsorship scandal. Although he grew up in Windsor and Ottawa as the son of the legendary Cabinet Minister Paul Martin, politics was not in his blood. In 1988 he became a Liberal M.P., ran for the leadership in 1990 and in 1993 became Jean Chretien's minister of finance, with the country in a deep hole. The story of his years as perhaps our best finance minister ever leads to his account of the revolt against Chretien, and his time in office. Great events and world figures stud this book, which is firm but polite as it sets the record straight, and is full of wry humour and self-deprecating stories. This is an idealistic, interesting book that reveals the Paul Martin we never knew. **** If you’re new to Poshmark - Welcome! Use our sign-up code PROJECTRELOVE to get $15 off your first purchase.
