4.0 out of 5 stars A myriad of power, politics, and pugnacity, October 18, 1998

This review is from: A life in progress (Hardcover)

Black's autobiography reads synonymous with the man - very complex!!! It's an insightful tell-tale book of one of the most vociferous Canadian business magnates of this half of the twentieth-century. Included in this memoir are numerous stories from childhood to adolescence, political experience, the strategic takeover of the Argus corporation, as well as numerous stories told in candid detail by the Napoleonic chairperson of Hollinger Corporation. My appended recommendation would be to invest in a copy of the Oxford Dictionary(trust me, analogous to Mr. Black's comprehension of the newspaper industry is his command of the english language).
