Within weeks of leaving office, Mulroney was paid at least $225,000 in cash by Karlheinz Schreiber, an international arms dealer wanted in Germany for bribery and tax evasion. When confronted by Kaplan about the unexplained payment, Mulroney vehemently denied any wrongdoing: "Anyone who says anything about [the money] will be in for one fuck of a fight." At the root of Kaplan's investigation is a secret trial and its stunning revelations - information that nearly escaped public attention. Only now, years later, is the former prime minister facing a public inquiry that threatens to permanently derail his reputation. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

This book is interesting for three reasons -- the obvious one being any political junkie will be attracted to stories of secret dealings inside Ottawa. More remarkable is that Mr. Kaplan wrote an earlier book largely exhonorating Mr. Mulroney in relation to secret dealings related to Airbus, helicopters and a proposed manufacturing facility in New Brunswick. He's now changed his mind and has publicly acknowledged his change of view based on new information. And, the discussion of the role of journalists and their relationship to the police was thought-provoking.
One of my favourite parts of this book was the afterword by Norman Spector, former chief of staff to Mr. Mulroney.
A great read for those who like to get inside politics from the sidelines. (
