A Memoir

by Sid Green

NOW RETIRED FROM POLITICS, Sid Green has written a no-holds-barred memoir that reveals many of the backroom battles of the NDP administration. Using the flair for language for which he was famous, Green paints a vivid picture of that seminal period in Manitoba. He also records the quixotic attempts of the Progressive Party to create an alternative voice for disaffected voters. This is a book for anyone interested in Prairie politics and anyone interested in a politician who refused to play by the rules.

About the Author
Ever since his early day as a labout lawyer, Sid Green has been a controversial fixture of Manitoba politics. He helped the NDP to their first electoral victory in 1969; then he served as a cabinet minister in Ed Schreyer’s ground-breaking administration. After deciding not to challenge Howard Pawley as Schreyer’s replacement for NDP leader, Green struck out on his own by forming the Progressive Party.
