Reviews

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

"Peter Mansbridge reminds readers why he's one of the most respected interviewers in Canada."
--Ottawa Citizen

"One on One is a wonderful journey involving key events and key players of the past 10 years. Mansbridge writes with self-deprecating, wry humour."
--The Record

"Captures Mansbridge's knack for informing and enlightening, even as he jousts, or empathizes, with his subjects. On television, he makes it look effortless. The book proves it's anything but."
--Winnipeg Free Press

"His solemn, thoughtful presence has been the unofficial brand of CBC News: The National for 21 years. He's pinned down world leaders on his Newsworld show for a decade. . . . Mansbridge's offerings are some of the best reading in the book."
--Toronto Star
