motion in the Commons In 1963 amid party Diets to as leader a ted successes In 1983 and 1965 in preventing Lester Pearson and the Liber a Is from achieving majority government and Dicfenbak replacement as party lea dcrin 1967 after bitter turmoil within the party ONE MAN STORY Diefenbaker his story graphically Hesnorts derision at his foes particularly those he had thought were his friends and says kind things about people who stood by him although some of those do take a lump or two But it is clearly his story his recollection of events told in the way that he undoubtedly wants his conduct In those years to be remembered Some people have been quick to disagree One was forthright Douglas Harkness whose resignation as defence minister Feb 3 1963 proved the that touched off an internal crisis within the Con party and set in motion a chain of events that led inexorably to the govern overthrow two days later As soon as excerpts from Tumultuous Years began ap pearing In Canadian pers on Oct Mr swung into print with his own account of the resignation and other events he was connected with He had written his story at the time and deposited it with the Public Archives for use when he might feel comp elled to speak out He and Diefenbaker do agree there was a resignation and on a matter of principle but the details differ sharply CAMP COMES BACK Fellow Conservative Dalton Camp blamed by Diefenbaker for a great many of his troub les came back at his onetime leader with a cleverly crafted review disputing statement statement in the book The review lengthy title reflected the nature of the content This is Byzantium exquisitely complex buried In impenetrable rhetoric Here there can be no more heroic than the man who goes into battle and falls on his own sword Former Liberal Jack Pick no slouch at sounding the praises of his own party and its right to govern also turned reviewer saying that in the book has nailed down for all time rus status as the supreme egocen trie of Canadian public life None of the controversy Is likely to hurt sales of the book which Is on the market In good time for Christmas trade Diefenbaker and his publish era must be laughing
