SYNOPSIS: Hugh Segal is that rare political animal: a Progressive Conservative partisan who is liked and respected by members of all political parties. A regular commentator on CTV and CBC television, his characteristic wit has made him one of Canada's favourite political pundits. Known for his fair, compassionate policies, this Red Tory is one of the most listened-to politicians of his generation - in the corridors of power and in the coffee shops of the nation. Politics is in Hugh Segal's blood - Progressive Conservative politics, that is. From that fateful day in 1962 when John Diefenbaker visited Montreal's United Talmud Torah Academy and his message grabbed a certain 12-year-old "by the throat," Hugh Segal has been a happy warrior in the Tory crusade. His remarkable political career has spanned nearly three decades and been witness to both the rise and, more recently, the precipitous fall of the Conservative part in Canada. No Surrender provides unique insight into how government works in this country - and the politicians who run it - from someone who has seen it all. In many ways the ultimate insider, Hugh Segal - the prominent Tory who hails from working-class Montreal - has always prided himself on his clear-eyed, pragmatic, and, on occasion, humorous perspective on the party. No Surrender is candid, intelligent, and thoughtful, combining Segal's reflections on the core mission of the Conservative Party with private insights into the party's most powerful and controversial leaders, and its battle strategies past, present, and future. Jean Chretien's honeymoon with Canadians is clearly over in the wake of the 1995 Quebec referendum. Preston Manning's heartless brand of "barbed-wire" neo-conservatism will not create the kind of country most Canadians want. Lucien Bouchard wants to rip the country apart. What Canada needs today, Hugh Segal argues in No Surrender, are the principles that drew him to the Progressive Conservative Party in the first place and what that party - now so ably led by the dynamic Jean Charest - has always offered: order, stability, and responsibility. Hugh Segal is passionately committed to Canada, and has spent the last 30 years proving it. He has been Associate Secretary of Cabinet for Bill Davis in Ontario and Legislative Assistant to Bob Stanfield. He was a senior polity advisor and then Chief of Staff to former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. He was urged by elected senior Conservatives to run against Kim Campbell for leader of the Progressive Conservative Party in 1993. He is now both an Associate at the Toronto-based investment counsel firm of Gluskin Sheff and a Resident Fellow at the Queen's University School of Policy Studies. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
