Man or monster (Part 1)? Review of "John A. Macdonald: The Young Politician" by Donald Creighton
Behold the first half of the magisterial, two-volume biography/tome of the ever-embattled John A. Macdonald, first Prime Minister of Canada and humourous rogue of historical proportions--by the ultimate old-school, Balliol College-educated U of Toronto don, Professor Creighton.
His political opponents both hated him and were enchanted by his wit and ever-present humour. His tragic private life made him a notorious drunk. And his record with respect to indigenous peoples?
Creighton's Macdonald here on the Non-philistine Review.
On the Non-philistine Review I, Nathan Manning of Vancouver, BC, Canada, summarize and review interesting books. And last but not least solicit your observations and opinions. I hope you'll find my reviews informative but entertaining!
