Arthur Hailey had a gift for finding locales for his novels that exploited the curiousity of the audience for finding out about often mentioned but little understood functions. At this point, the Foreign Affairs ministry of the USA. It is entertaining in the fashion of the 1960's and quite informative about the procedures of international relations. World War Three is once more, delayed, by the way. (  ) DinadansFriend | Mar 9, 2023 |  Arthur Hailey, the master of fiction-with-realistic-settings, has taken Canadian politics as the backdrop for In High Places. As can be expected, he has presented the human side of politics with all things good, bad and ugly. Though it is an engaging read right through, for someone who has read and enjoyed most of his works for the inside details that he provides of the industries in which the stories are set, it is somewhat unsatisfying. It feels as if Hailey was on a deadline to finish writing this novel. Or else, Canadian politics is, maybe, not as colourful as that of many other nations and, choosing it as the setting, Hailey could do nothing more. That said, I enjoyed this one too, though not as much as I had done his other great works. So it is between 3 and 4 stars, rounded up to 4 due to my bias towards Hailey!

#1nbsp;New York Timesnbsp;bestselling author Arthur Hailey takes readers into the highest echelons of government as two nations' leaders prepare for a third world war A call from the US president to Canada's prime minister . . . An intimate reception at the Ottawa residence of Her Majesty's governor general . . . The arrival of a ship in Vancouver. Three seemingly unrelated events three thousand miles apart upset the balance of global power and alter the landscape of the free world. As Canada's prime minister, James Howden, works to ensure his nation's survival in a nuclear war, he faces another threat: a lawyer on a crusade for justice and truth. With two nations struggling to keep a lid on an explosive secret, Howden will undergo a crisis of conscience that leaves him fighting for his political life. At once an electrifying novel of international politics during the Cold War and a cautionary tale about what can happen when men believe they are above the law,nbsp;In High Placesnbsp;is Arthur Hailey's personal favorite of all his works.
