SYNOPSIS: EVERYONE KNOWS WHO HE IS BUT NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT HIM. Ed Broadbent has been a force in Canadian politics for 20 years. The bare facts are on record but up to now there has been little insight into his character, nothing to suggest where his deep ambition comes from. THE EXPERIENCE OF GETTING TO KNOW ED IS LIKE DISCOVERING CANADA: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THERE UNTIL YOU KNOW WHAT'S THERE. For the first time, here is the story of Ed Broadbent's difficult childhood - the dark shadow that fell across his life - the painful breakdown of his first marriage, his devotion to the pursuit of knowledge, his steady rise to power, and the wrenching political battles he has endured and overcome. AN ORDINARY GUY, AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY. - and - In high school and university, Ed Broadbent "passed" as an ordinary guy - but he always had a deeper drive. When he "went" NDP his friends and family were surprised; he was never a radical. His own party took him for granted; even when he became leader he struggled for recognition. But when the NDP hit 44% in the polls in the summer of 1987, a whole nation came to realize that there was a new force in Canadian politics. How did Ed (as everyone calls him) evolve from a man in the background to a leader intent on the pursuit, indeed the acquisition, of power? In this insightful biography, the first full length study of John Edward Broadbent, Judy Steed examines the influences and experiences that have shaped the man. For the first time we learn about Ed's childhood and the family tragedy that profoundly affected his attitudes and actions. Another early influence was General Motors, the industry that dominated his hometown of Oshawa and his family (for more than sixty years there has always been a Broadbent at the Motors - and there still is). He is as distinctive a product of industrial Ontario as Pierre Trudeau was of the Quebec intelligentsia. Ed struggled through many battles, political and personal: the painful breakdown of his first marriage, his role in the Waffle movement, several challenges to his leadership, the Constitutional crisis. But he endured, and began to wear his leadership with confidence and determination. Diefenbaker said, "Leadership's a funny thing. It makes some people grow and others swell. Ed's growed." In The Pursuit of Power Judy Steed examines the myth of the "ordinary guy" and discovers an extraordinary man and an extraordinary story of conflict, struggle and determination. Judy Steed is a feature writer at The Globe and Mail and the winner of a National Magazine Award and two National Newspaper Awards (Citations) for her stories on business and political issues. Raised in Ottawa, she graduated from the University of Toronto and became a playwright and film editor before establishing a production company with artist Joyce Wieland. In 1978, she moved into magazine journalism and in 1981, joined the Globe. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
