The Prince

“Maher delivers a full-length treatment of the Prime Minister and his government that is both comprehensive and insightful… Stephen Maher has delivered a thoroughly researched and fair-minded accounting of Justin Trudeau’s accomplishments and failings. If journalism is the first draft of history, The Prince is a convincing second draft.”
— The Globe and Mail
“Sensational … It deftly captures what went on behind the scenes in Trudeau’s big successes, along with his big failures. The book’s strengths are in Maher’s interviews with top political players who speak candidly about what it’s really like in political Ottawa’s backrooms. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in politics and the prime minister.”
— The Hill Times
“An extraordinary book which traces this descent into hell is becoming a hit in English Canada. It’s definitely worth reading if you want to understand how Trudeau got so low in the polls today.”
— Le Journal de Montreal
“I just finished Stephen Maher’s The Prince and highly recommend it, even to those who closely follow Canadian politics. It’s the best Justin Trudeau biography I’ve read so far, and it is fair, accurate, and balanced.”
— DON MARTIN, columnist, CTVNews.ca
“[An] engaging and even-handed book on the prime minister”
— LAWRENCE MARTIN, Public Affairs Columnist, The Globe & Mail
“The Prince is a fast-paced, highly readable political narrative informed by interviews with more than 200 insiders, including Trudeau himself… The book carefully plots the downward trajectory of Trudeau’s time in power.”
— Zoomer.com
“This is a compelling examination of Justin’s time in office.”
— Hello! Canada
“Maher has juicy stuff from behind the scenes.”
