A propos du livre

Review

From his humble beginnings in rural Manitoba, Abe Friesen has led a life of adventure that you wouldn t expect from a Mennonite son. From working in road construction as a young man to learning to fly airplanes to senior management positions, Abe s journey through his working years has never been dull. Entering the forest industry during the hey-day of abundance, he has witnessed and implemented many changes in the industry. His rise in the industry has taken him from supervising mill workers and fallers to the board rooms of major corporations. Infused with a sense of humor, Abe s story is entertaining and informative without being dull, well worth the read. --Carol McDonald

From bush pilot to national negotiator on softwood lumber exports that s the career trajectory of Abe Friesen. Along the way, it s the story of the forest industry in Canada with a strong undercurrent of ethics, as Friesen worked his way up the ladder from free-wheeling logging camps to corporate boardrooms. In the often cutthroat world of big business, Friesen demonstrates that it is possible to be a success and still keep one s principles in tact. Now semi-retired, Abe Friesen has written his autobiography with crisp memory, keen insight, and flashes of humor. If you are at all interested in Canada s softwood lumber industry, you should read this book. --Jim Taylor - Author, editor and co-founder of Wood Lake Publications Ltd.
