A successful Conservative with a track record as a winner, Robert L. Stanfield (1914-2003) brought Diefenbaker's fragmented Tories to high ratings in the polls and came within two seats of defeating Trudeau in the 1972 federal election.

In Robert Stanfield's Canada, Richard Clippingdale reflects on the kind of Progressive Conservative Stanfield was, not only during his years of active national political leadership but also through two decades of extraordinarily active retirement. Drawing from Stanfield's speeches and notes, and with the benefit of interviews with several of his closest friends and associates, Clippingdale explores the measured, realistic, and honourable priorities Stanfield championed - foreign, social, economic, and constitutional.

Robert Stanfield's Canada captures both the character and legacy of a political moderate with a conscience, a Red Tory whose ideas remain at the core of a uniquely Canadian conservative tradition.
