About the Author :
Madelaine Drohan spent most of her journalistic career as a foreign correspondent, reporting on Europe for the Toronto-based Globe and Mail and then on Canada for the London-based Economist. She is a senior fellow at the Graduate School for Public and International Affairs, University of Ottawa. She lives in Ottawa.

Review :
Madelaine Drohan has written a very timely book. Canadians said "non merci" to Benjamin Franklin in 1776. And we continue saying it — loud and clear — to those who threaten our independence 250 years later! A bold and timely reassessment of one of the most revered figures in American history ... Drohan’s writing is crisp and accessible, blending archival research with journalistic clarity. Her background as a foreign correspondent for The Globe and Mail and The Economist lends the book to a global perspective, situating Franklin’s ambitions within the broader currents of empire, revolution, and diplomacy. She also brings a distinctly Canadian voice to the narrative, one that resists the gravitational pull of American exceptionalism.
