About This Item
1983 black softcover, first paperback edition, and signed by author on first page to a friend. Book is in very good+ condition; some wear to covers, good binding, no marks inside. US media mail only for shipping.
This biography starts literally at the beginning with WAC's start in New Brunswick, the move to Alberta and the starting of the first hardware store, and then the final move to the Okanagan where Bennett was to become involved in politics, leading a rather obscure existence (with a few failures along the way) before he finally bolted from the coalition government to start Social Credit in the early 1950s - a move which was much different than the grassroots movement of Social Credit in Alberta. Social Credit in BC would always be a top-down movement.
