About the Author:
ROBERT CHODOS is an experienced author and translator who has published widely in the fields of Canadian business, politics, and transportation and of Quebec history.

Review:
"This is straightforward family and personal history (including his father's two near-miss attempts to become Liberal leader.)" (Globe and Mail)
"This first biography of Paul Martin Jr. is a long-overdue examination of a man about to set sail though some of the most turbulent times in Canadian history." (Halifax Daily News)
"Chodos, Murphy and Hamovitch... work smoothly as a team." (J.L. Granatstein Canadian Book Review Annual)
"Of most interest is Martin's battle against the deficit. What comes through is the conviction that he is a cautious businessman and a cautious politician." (William Rayner Vancouver Sun)
"...I recommend Paul Martin: A Political Biography. [It surprised me in its fairness to the minister of finance and its grasp of his career before he turned to electoral politics a decade ago. He comes through as both the best bet on hand as the new prime minister and probably a good one, notably at championing federalism in Quebec. Their book is not an absolute approval of Martin's ambitions but it does suggest there is more to him than some of us have been ready to grant." (Douglas Fisher Toronto Sun)
