Reviews
Greg Donaghy paints a picture of a man whose ambition never superseded his fundamental decency, his connection to individuals both great and small, and his unwavering loyalty to colleagues, constituents and indeed a country that often treated him with something less than loyalty. This is both a fascinating study of twentieth-century Canada and the somewhat poignant story of a boy with big dreams.

Synopsis
Grit examines the remarkable life and political career of Paul Martin Sr., a liberal reformer and cabinet minister from 1945 to 1968, who championed health care and pension rights, new meanings for Canadian citizenship, and internationalism in world affairs., "I am not afraid to be called a politician," declared Paul Martin Sr., defending his life's work in politics. "Next to preaching the word of God, there is nothing nobler than to serve one's fellow countrymen in government." First elected to the House of Commons in 1935, Martin served in the cabinet of four prime ministers and ran for the Liberal Party leadership three times. This book examines his remarkable career as a liberal reformer and politician who tackled the issues of his day with consummate political skill and gritty determination. Cutting a broad swath through the history of twentieth-century Canada, Greg Donaghy uses extensive interviews and untapped archival sources to challenge the prevailing view of Martin as simply an ambitious Windsor ward heeler and party operator. Martin embraced a tolerant politics of compromise and accommodation that sought to unite Canadians in search of a more just and equitable world. Though some mocked his ambition and doubted his progressive politics, his resolute championing of health care and pension rights, new meanings for Canadian citizenship, and internationalism in world affairs would leave an indelible mark on Canada's political landscape., "I am not afraid to be called a politician," declared Paul Martin Sr., defending his life's work in politics. "Next to preaching the word of God, there is nothing nobler than to serve one's fellow countrymen in government." This book examines Martin's remarkable career as a liberal reformer and cabinet minister who tackled the issues of his day with consummate political skill and gritty determination. Though some mocked his ambition and doubted his progressive politics, his resolute championing of health care and pension rights, new meanings for Canadian citizenship, and internationalism in world affairs would leave its mark on Canada's political landscape., Greg Donaghy has written a deeply insightful biography of Paul Martin Sr., a complicated man called to a life in politics, who scaled political heights but whose ultimate ambition to lead the nation was unfulfilled. Donaghy confronts his many contradictions - ambitious and idealistic, progressive and out of touch, self-promoting and selfless-to recount the career of a remarkable politician who made a difference to Canada.
