After Years Of Research, Often Late Into The Night, Best-Selling Author Will Ferguson Has Come Up With The Most Sophisticated System Ever Devised For Evaluating Canadian Leadership. It'S Called Bastards And Boneheads. Bastards Succeed. Whether Their Goals Are Noble Or Immoral, Bastards Are Ruthless. Active. They Cause Events To Unfold By An Act Of Focussed Will. Boneheads Fail, Usually By Stumbling Over Their Own Two Feet. Boneheads Are Reactive. Inept. They Cause Events To Unfold Mainly By Accident. Bastards Screw Canada. Boneheads Just Screw Up. Bastards And Boneheads Makes An Excellent Parlour Game. Pierre Trudeau Was A Bastard. Joe Clark Was Not. Brian Mulroney Managed To Be Both. Your Turn: Jean Chrétien-Bastard Or Bonehead? But Ferguson Doesn'T Limit Himself To The Prime Ministers. No, Sir. He Takes On The Full Sweep Of Canadian History, Examining And Evaluating The Key Personalities Behind Our Most Momentous Events. When The English Captured Quebec In 1759, Was It A "Battle Of Boneheads" Or A "Contest Of Bastards"? Was The War Of 1812 Won By Bastards? Or Lost By Boneheads? From The Internment Of Japanese Canadians During The Second World War To Canada'S Contribution To The Holocaust, From The Battle For Women'S Rights To The Rise Of The Separatist Movement, Will Ferguson Looks At Our Past Head-On, Wars And All. This Is History On The Edge: Opinionated, Hard-Hitting, Outrageous And Always Thought-Provoking. Watch Out, Canada. Will Ferguson Is Headed Our Way.
