The book was released on September 10, 2007 and outlines Mulroney's version of events during his early life, political career and time as prime minister.

Mulroney believes that Trudeau lacked the moral fibre to be Prime Minister for not serving in the Canadian Forces during World War II.

[4] Mulroney hints that he feels the young Trudeau had anti-Semitic leanings at that time, stating: "This is a man who questioned the Allies when the Jews were being sacrificed and when the great extermination program was on, he was marching around Outremont, Quebec on the other side of the issue.

"[6] Tom Axworthy's, response to Mulroney was that Trudeau should be judged by his actions once his values matured and he entered public life, not by "ridiculous" thoughts he entertained briefly in his teens and early twenties.

[7] John English stated that Trudeau's youthful views must be put in the context of a time when most Quebecers were so virulently anti-British and opposed to what they saw as a British war that they were blinded to the evils of Hitler's Nazism.
