Lloyd Axworthy’s Memoir Now Available
In this stirring and beautifully written memoir, Lloyd Axworthy tells the unlikely story of a Canadian prairie boy, raised in the Social Gospel tradition, who studied politics at Princeton at the heigh of John F. Kennedy’s Camelot, marched for civil rights in Alabama, and returned to Canada to embark on an illustrious political career of his own at the height of Trudeaumania.
Axworthy served twenty-one years in parliament, more than half of those in the cabinets of Pierre Trudeau, John Turner, and Jean Chretien. With extraordinary candour and introspection, he invites readers inside his roles in some of the most important political stories of the last half century, including the enactment of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the great debate over the Canada-US free trade agreement, and the global fights to ban landmines and establish the International Criminal Court.
