"Few public officials in Canadian history wrought more fundamental change than Michael Wilson – all while dealing with overwhelming family pressures and tragediesIn his life, Wilson often joked about his inhibitions and lack of charisma. Now at last he has been freed to speak full and from the heart."

-- David Frum * The Atlantic *
