With his keen intellect and the depth of knowledge acquired from years covering federal politics and politicians, Graham charts Harper's unlikely rise from the backbenches to the PMO.

This provocative profile shows how Harper's suburban upbringing and his understanding of the ideals of suburban voters has been key to his success, and also how he manages to keep the Conservatives in power despite a populace that is "defiantly liberal" in its views. Delving deep into policy, personality, ideology, and history, Graham reveals how Harper's actions, or lack thereof, may lead his party to defeat. Born in the Burbs is a must read for anyone interested in Canadian politics.
