Аннотация:

At the age of nine, John Diefenbaker announced, «I'm going to be prime minister when I grow up.» He never lost sight of his goal. Diefenbaker was prime minister of Canada from 1957-1963. He believed in social justice, opening up the North, and making things better for western farmers. Canadians responded to his campaign call to «Follow John.» This compelling book recreates the tensions of the Diefenbaker era – the time of the Cold War, spy scandals, and the Cuban Missile Crisis – when the world seemed on the brink of nuclear war.
