“Peter C. Newman created realism in political writing in Canada—the first to write about politics as examined theatre and politicians as collapsed gods—and provided a tapestried look at the rich men of Canada, whose lives are more secret than monks’ and more powerful than locomotives.”
JUNE CALLWOOD
“Peter C. Newman is the Jacques Cousteau of the Canadian corporate aquarium. His books are the Canadian equivalent of Grauman’s Chinese Theater, where Hollywood stars press their hands in fresh cement.”
THE GLOBE AND MAIL
“With Mordecai Richler and Pierre Berton gone, Peter C. Newman is Canada’s remaining über-chronicler of these recent decades.”
CALGARY HERALD
“Canada made Newman, and in some ways, Newman made Canada.”
WINNIPEG FREE PRESS
“Newman is simply the best writer on national affairs in the country.”
