Books by Peter Waite

It's not easy to pinpoint that very first memory of being alive.

He was only three years old, having been born in rural Lincolnshire just a few years after the end of World War Two.

Canada's bachelor prime ministers have always provided extraordinary material for biographers. Richard Bedford Bennett is no exception. In this volume P.B. Waite offers three entertaining essays on the personal life of Canada's Depression prime minister.
