商品簡介
The revised and updated edition of this biography of Canadian Prime Minister R.B. Bennett examines the life and political career of the man associated with, and often blamed for, the worst travails of the Great Depression. The work provides a complete look at the life and business experiences that shaped his governing philosophies and refutes the popular notion that he was ineffective in his response to the financial disaster, instead showcasing his successes in creating infrastructure for the unemployed, industry, and communications that would serve Canada for decades to come. The volume includes a selection of black and white plates as well as an appendix detailing important ministers in his governments. Boyko is a historian and the author of several works on Canadian political history. Annotation Ac2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
