PRESTON MANNING, The Roots of Reform, by Frank Dabbs, is "a definitive examination of Preston Manning and the birth of his movement of Western Canadian Populists, this it it!" -Peter C. Newman.
Now, in his hid-fiftiees, after a lifetime of preparation, Manning is at the centre of the national stage. Does he have what it takes to succeed in the rough-and-tumble of federal politics? Can he overcome the internal problems of his party and his personal weaknesses to play a larger role in Canadian life? And will his vision of Canada work?
