SIR JOHN A. MACDONALD, The Man and The Politician, by Donald Swainson, explores the dichotomy between John A. Macdonald as a private individual—including his personal struggles, wit, and flaws—and his towering public legacy as the chief architect of Canadian Confederation.
It analyzes his pragmatic political maneuvering, his role in expanding Canada from sea to sea, and the creation of the national policy that bound the young dominion together.
