Summary
  • Summary: "Buckley's! Ken Buckley gives a candid and vividly lived-in account of his professional and personal life, revealing his vulnerabilities as well as his unswerving commitment to "natural justice". His autobiography is published posthumously by his widow, Berenice Buckley, also a CCL founding member and active worker for immigrant rights and social diversity. Says Berenice, 'Ken was a more complex man than often showed up-front. He had a sharp-and often rashly interventionist!-sense of justice, a formidable and driving intellect and a robust, highly infectious sense of humour. I want people to see, and perhaps be inspired by, the man behind the accolades and the brickbats gathered over his long career as a soldier, historian, teacher and political activist.' In his foreword to Buckley's! The Honourable Justice Michael Kirby says, 'Ken always confronted injustice-barging in where most prudent angels would fear to tread. Every free society needs people like him.'--Publisher description.
