It's the first time The Right Honourable Brian Mulroney has granted such a comprehensive interview since leaving office in 1993. Helming the interview and guiding viewers through the special is CTV Chief Anchor and Editor Lloyd Robertson. "This is a Brian Mulroney Canadians have never seen before," said Robertson. "He opens up and shares intimate details about world leaders such as Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Nelson Mandela. He also lashes out at his political opponents and deals with the controversies that have followed him through the years." In both his 1,100-page memoirs, which spans the years from 1939 to 1993, and his interviews with Robertson, Mr. Mulroney talks frankly about his political career - sharing, often for the first time, his personal views on the momentous events that transpired during his tenure as prime minister.
