Lawrence Martin did an excellent job of portraying Chretien's life, including both positives and negatives. In addition to describing his drive and ambition, his fight for the 'little guy', and his years as Trudeau's firefighter, Martin also delivers Chretien's derelict youth, his occasional forays into questionable Quebec politics, and his sensitivity to criticism of his abilities. This book ends just as Jean Chretien was poised to win the leadership of the federal Liberal party of Canada.
Whether you liked or disliked Jean Chretien as a politician, this book will provide an insightful look at the man behind the politician. Martin has provided the views and perspectives of friend and foe. It is easy to read, light yet intriguing.
