What made this book was the reaction of Mowat and others to the situation. "I have frequently found myself on a collision course with the kind of establishment fonctionniares (sp?) who I collectively call 'cement heads'. These are the often arrogant and always insensitive automatons who populate far to many echelons of every nations .. structures.. A long time ago - in self defence - I discovered how best to deal with them- ridicule and mockery.
From the USA's offer to meet him on 'peace bridge' to review his file (He refused and told them they would have to apologize and send air force one to pick him up), changing government stories, and many letters of outrage from Canadians and Americans alike this is a hilarious book. If your library has it, it is a wonderful and funny read. ( )
