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. His humour and modesty, his honesty and directness, infuse the work as they have in his public life.
