The following is excerpted from Quill & Quire's review of In Search of R.B. Bennett.
Canadian politics was a different beast in the early 20th century, and Richard Bedford Bennett (friends and associates called him “R.B.”) was very much a man of his time. It’s hard to imagine an obese, teetotalling bachelor with the ability to quote poetry at the drop of a hat getting to be prime minister today, let alone a conservative from Calgary who publicly spoke out against the pernicious influence of American values.
Bennett, who led Canada from 1930–35, wasn’t particularly charismatic or colourful – in those days a politician didn’t have to be – and history hasn’t been kind to his memory.
(…)
Veteran Canadian historian P.B. Waite does a sterling job making this a readable and at times downright entertaining study that goes some way to rehabilitating Bennett’s standing.
