About the Author
PETER C. NEWMAN has been writing about Canadian politics and business for nearly half a century. The author of twenty-four books that have together sold more than two million copies, Newman has won some of the country’s most illustrious literary awards, both as an author and a journalist. A former editor-in-chief of the Toronto Star and Maclean’s, Newman has received seven honorary doctorates and a National Newspaper Award and has been elected to the News Hall of Fame. He has been appointed twice to the Order of Canada and has earned his title as the nation’s “most cussed and discussed” commentator.

PRAISE FOR PETER C. NEWMAN
“Peter C. Newman created realism in political writing in Canada—the first to write about politics as examined theatre and politicians as collapsed gods—and provided a tapestried look at the rich men of Canada, whose lives are more secret than monks’ and more powerful than locomotives.”
JUNE CALLWOOD
“Peter C. Newman is the Jacques Cousteau of the Canadian corporate aquarium. His books are the Canadian equivalent of Grauman’s Chinese Theater, where Hollywood stars press their hands in fresh cement.”
THE GLOBE AND MAIL
“With Mordecai Richler and Pierre Berton gone, Peter C. Newman is Canada’s remaining über-chronicler of these recent decades.”
CALGARY HERALD
“Canada made Newman, and in some ways, Newman made Canada.”
WINNIPEG FREE PRESS
“Newman is simply the best writer on national affairs in the country.”
