Description
Book SynopsisRoad to Redemption is an insider's account of the Liberal Party's struggles to rebuild and rebrand the party after the unexpected loss of power in 2006 and devastating defeat in 2011.
Trade Review"Jeffrey’s Road to Redemption documents the Liberals’ fall and rise from 2006 when the Party stumbled to third-party status in the Commons. Professor Jeffrey is a longtime Liberal insider, former director of the caucus research bureau, and feeds the mythology of Liberal insiders as a kind of master race of wily political operatives. Professor Jeffrey knows where all the bodies are buried, and is an enthusiastic gravedigger." -- Holly Doan *

"A combination of insider account and academic treatment, Road to Redemption will be interesting to political junkies and important for historians." *
