Take careful note of the subtitle: It is a summary of the argument of the book. This fresh take on Richard Bedford Bennett, Canada’s 11th prime minister, who governed from 1930 to 1935, suggests most historians and other commentators have badly misunderstood the man.
He was not actually the pompous, priggish millionaire loner after whom such unhappy Depression icons as the horse-drawn “Bennett buggy” were named. Nor was he a thin-skinned and ineffectual political leader who opportunistically swayed from traditional Tory beliefs to curry support with his “New Deal.”
