Frank McKenna: Beyond Politics

Frank McKenna was one of Canada's most highly respicted politicians, and this compelling biography is a must-read for anyone who wants to unravel the mystery of this intriguing man. Why would a news-making criminal lawyer, a popular premier whose party swept every seat in the New Brunswick legislature and a highly effective Canadian ambassador to the United States have turned down the chance to become prime minister--not once but twice? Today, McKenna's potent mix of intelligence, humour, honsty and saavy continue to make him a corporate dynamo, an engaging speaker and an inspiring public figure. With candid insights from politicians, family, friends and McKenna himself, "Frank McKenna: Beyond Politics"is a fascinating look at perhaps the best prime minister Canada never had.
