NOT WITHOUT CAUSE: DAVID PETERSON'S FALL FROM GRACE Georgette Gagnon and Dan Rath Toronto, HarperCollins, 1991. 408pp, cloth, $27.95 ISBN 0-00-215842-6. CIP Grades 12 and up/Ages 17 and up Reviewed by Pat Bolger Volume 20 Number 1 1992 January Although Ontarians flocked to "touch the border of (David Peterson's) Roots sweatshirt" during the 1987 election in Ontario, they rejected him decisively just three years later. In their meticulously researched study, the authors (both Liberal insid­ers) examine events before and during the campaign to account for the stun­ning defeat suffered by the party. They discuss voter resentment of Meech Lake, Mulroney, and an unnecessary election, political scandals, and a campaign organization crippled by bungling and internal dissension. Few teenagers will have acquired the background knowledge of politics required to handle the masses of detail in Not Without Cause. Limited recom­mendation to high schools where politics receive emphasis. Pat Bolger, Renfrew, Ont.
