Full Circle: Death and Resurrection in Canadian Conservative Politics is a compelling and surprisingly suspenseful behind-the-scenes political who-done-it complete with drama high and low, promises made and broken, scandal, near-death experiences, internal revolution, betrayal and lust for power. Plamondon organizes the books around the simultaneous careers of the three leading actors in the death and resurrection of the Conservative Party: Preston Manning, Peter MacKay and Stephen Harper. "On the record" quotes and background information from more than thirty interviews with Peter MacKay, Brian Mulroney, Preston Manning, David Orchard, Stockwell Day, Bill Davis, Don Mazankowski, Gerry St. Germain, Bill Pristanski, as well as key members of the 2004 and 2006 Conservative campaign team reincluded. An impeccably researched and detailed biography of a political movement from its collapse to its resurrection, sweeping in its breadth and scope, packed with never-before-printed revelations and details about the struggle for political supremacy, Full Circle is breathlessly paced history at its best: a must read for anyone interested in Canada's future. Praise for Full Circle : "[A] masterful new books. Plamondon offers so many insights in recent Canadian politics [it] reads like a thriller." - The Calgary Sun "A meticulous blow-by-blow account of the road to merger that captures both the tension and the tedium of back room politics." - The Globe and Mail "This is a solid, detailed chronicle of the players and the events surrounding some stormy years for the Tories." - The Toronto Star
