The Prince

“This is a compelling examination of Justin’s time in office.” * Hello! Canada *“Maher delivers a full-length treatment of the Prime Minister and his government that is both comprehensive and insightful… Stephen Maher has delivered a thoroughly researched and fair-minded accounting of Justin Trudeau’s accomplishments and failings. If journalism is the first draft of history, The Prince is a convincing second draft.” * The Globe and Mail *”The Prince contains the most detailed account to date of how the Liberal campaign reacted to the scandal.” * National Post *“In The Prince, former Postmedia columnist Stephen Maher delivers a powerhouse account of the fortunes and the follies of Justin Trudeau.” * The Guardian *“Maher offers a detailed but readable account of the years since that first victory in 2015…” Online provides a longer-length version of the author interview. “The Prince is a fast-paced, highly readable political narrative informed by interviews with more than 200 insiders, including Trudeau himself… The book carefully plots the downward trajectory of Trudeau’s time in power.” * Zoomer Magazine *“It deftly captures what went on behind the scenes in Trudeau’s big successes, along with his big failures. The book’s strengths are in Maher’s interviews with top political players who speak candidly about what it’s really like in political Ottawa’s backrooms. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in politics and the prime minister.” * The Hill Times *“An extraordinary book which traces this descent into hell is becoming a hit in English Canada. It’s definitely worth reading if you want to understand how Trudeau got so low in the polls today.” (translated from French to English by Google Translate) * Le Journal de Montreal *“Compelling new book…. Maher’s book…is as authoritative as it is newsworthy.” * SaltWire.com *“In tracking the arc of Justin Trudeau’s years as Prime Minister, from entitled and confident prince, to tarnished and tired Faceman, Maher has given us an excellent glimpse into the inner workings of Justin Trudeau’s mind, his life and his government.” * ConservativeJournal.ca *
