Reseñas en medios

"John English captures all Pearson's accomplishments in wonderful readable detail.  This unassuming man had the idea for the United Nations peacekeeping force, won the Nobel Peace Prize and dared to take a line internationally that didn't parrot, and sometimes angered, the Americans.  No Canadian since has approached Pearson's accomplishments in foreign affairs... The Worldly Years is pure pleasure and pure insight." --Calgary Herald

"What is fascinating is the way in which English gives you the impression that he is breathing in your ear all these new secrets...The result is a thorough examination of the man, with keen and surprising insights." --Windsor Star

"An outstanding biography.  The Worldly Years should be at the top of any list of Canadian biographies." --H. Blair Neatby, Ottawa Citizen

Vintage Canada. As New with no dust jacket. 1993. Trade Paperback. 0394280156 . Trade Paperback. In As New condition with light rubbing to the covers. "The Wordly Years are the remaining 20 years of his career (though I don`t see that they were noticeably worldlier than their predecessors) ; nine years as secretary of state for external affairs, in which of course he continued his profession at a different level; six months in limbo after the defeat of the St-Laurent government, during which his diplomatic career was triumphantly crowned with the Nobel Peace Prize; then the final stage, in the very different and far less congenial world of party politics - just over five years as leader of the opposition and exactly five as prime minister. "; B&W Photographs; 1.26 x 9.02 x 5.98 Inches; 500 pages .
