Death by Deficit: A 2001 Novel

Other than a small mark on the lower text block, this is a clean, tight, and unmarked copy-" It is late January 2001, and Canadians have just elected a new government. When the Prime Minister is briefed on the true depth of the country's money problems, he listens in horror as Canada's top civil servant, the Clerk of the Privy Council, describes a financial crisis of almost unbelievable proportions.- Major-General (Ret'd) Richard Heath Rohmer, OC, CMM, DFC, O.Ont, KStJ, CD, OL, QC, JD, LLD (born in 1924). Canada's most decorated citizen, an aviator, a senior lawyer (aviation law), an adviser to business leaders and the Government of Ontario, and a prolific writer. Rohmer was born in Hamilton, Ontario, and spent some of his early youth in Pasadena, California as well as in western Ontario at Windsor and Fort Erie. The Peterborough Examiner's lead editorial of 14 January 2009 says this: "Rohmer, one of Canada's most colorful figures of the past half-century, was a World War II fighter pilot, later a major-general in the armed forces reserve, a high-profile lawyer and a successful novelist and biographer."
