Summary
: 
Bill Graham - Canada's minister of foreign affairs and minister of defence during the years following 9/11 - takes us on a personal journey from his Vancouver childhood to important behind-the-scenes moments in recent global history. He recounts meetings with world leaders, contextualizes important geopolitical relationships, and offers observations on backstage politics. He explains Canada's decision not to participate in the 2003 invasion of Iraq and makes a passionate case for why international law offers the best hope for a safer, more prosperous, and just world.
