Bøker av Rt. Hon. Lester B. Pearson

A portrait in words of Lester Pearson, this volume contains his own selection of his speeches and writings from 1924 to 1968 on a wide variety of topics - serious and frivolous, political and non-political - with introductions which serve as an autobiographical and interpretative link carrying the reader forward through his career.

This volume of Mike covers Pearson's election as leader of the Liberal Party, his years in opposition to the Diefenbaker government, and his achievements as prime minister.

This volume, completed after Pearson's death under the supervision of his son Geoffrey, recounts his involvement in Canadian politics and diplomacy as a MP and Secretary of State for External Affairs during the early years of the Cold War.

Mike captures Pearson's intellect, his sense of humour, and his humanity, offering a charming look at the youth of a great statesman.
