Straight from the Heart (1994)

Straight from the Heart presents Jean Chrétien’s personal recollections of a life in Canadian public service. Written in a direct, conversational tone, the memoir traces key episodes in his political career and offers first-person perspective on leadership, decision-making, and national issues of the 1990s.

Across 248 pages published by Key Porter Books, Chrétien balances anecdote and reflection, giving readers an inside view of campaigns, cabinet life, and the pressures of high office. The narrative emphasizes practical lessons about governance and the human side of politics rather than partisan argument.
