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.
