Fights of Our Lives John Duffy
Just what makes a great Canadian election? Is it a great fight? Certainly. Must a great leader be at the top of his form? No question. Does the battle always include a clash over fundamental issues? Undoubtedly. But as political strategist John Duffy persuasively argues, the great campaigns also combine the three crucial components of Canadian politicking—policy, region, leadership—in new and nation-defining ways.
Fights of Our Lives is something new: a way of looking at the history of Canadian elections from the point of view of a backroom strategist who is also a thoughtful political historian. It is also the first visual history of Canadian electioneering, a marriage of text and images that echoes and explores the evolution of the Canadian art of winning.
