Written before he became leader of the federal NDP, and the parts worth reading are the ones with no politics in them.

A childhood with an alcoholic father, responsibility arriving far too early, and abuse he discloses directly. The martial arts and the law career are presented as structure imposed on a situation that had none.

The political chapters are what you would expect. The family material is not, and it is the reason the book exists.
