Summary:
A biography of R.B. Bennett exploring his statesmanship, ideas, and temperament.
"No Canadian prime minister has a legacy as uncertain as that of R.B. Bennett (1870-1947). Leader of the country during the worst years of the Great Depression, Bennett's fortune and ascension to the British House of Lords distanced him from the Canadian people during his lifetime, while his burial in England kept him aloof from his country even in death. In Search of R.B. Bennett explores the statesmanship, ideas, and temperament of Canada's eleventh prime minister, presenting an enigmatic portrait of a difficult and fascinating man."--Overdrive.
