Reviews

"Michael Cross knows more about Robert Baldwin than anyone else. This isn't just knowledge. He feels the man. This is an essential biography, as much of the heart as it is of politics."

--John Ralston Saul, author of Louis-Hippolyte LaFontaine and Robert Baldwin
"An extraordinary biography."

--Macleans
"Michael Cross puts on the table the story of one of the most unusual if not peculiar leaders we've ever had" and "brings Robert Baldwin fully alive."

--John Ralston Saul
