John Hart

John Hart gives a particular kind of insight into the practice of politics during a transformative time. Seen at this close range, political history is an extremely valuable window into the inner workings of democracy. Shirley Tillotson, professor emeritus, Department of History, Dalhousie University

At a time when most premiers were excelling at being bombastic and disruptive, John Hart, in his restrained political and personal style, remained committed to workable solutions. Through Roy’s considerable and impressive research, John Hart demonstrates that there remains another way to hold public office – a much-needed lesson today.
