About the Book

In this unusual biography of one of Canada's most well-known public figures, author, Frank Milligan traces the intellectual foundations on which Forsey's world-view was constructed. Starting with his middle-class Ottawa upbringing, Forsey's philosophical pilgrimage was the product of a deep allegiance to a Christian social gospel, exposure to the radical politics of the labour movement and the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, and a profound reverence for British Tory constitutionalism. By studying Forsey's beliefs, both religious and political, Milligan unearths the philosophical underpinnings of many of Canada's early twentieth-century political, economic, religious, and social reform movements.

Review :
This is no mere collection of family anecdotes and reminiscence, nor is it a volume of collected works, though it does include many pieces of Eugene Forseys writings. It is a scholarly work, well-researched and erudite, that combines the expected personal insights of a daughter writing about her father with an objective exploration of the work of a man well-known and significant to our history. - Thecanadianencyclopedia.com, blog posting June 2012 Milligan succeeds in portraying Forsey as a transitional figure in the Canadian intellectual reform tradition. Eugene Forsey, as Milligan ably demonstrates, was too harsh by half in assessing his own life's work and influence. Keith Fleming, The Canadian Historical Review Frank Milligan has provided a rich and enticing portrait of Eugene Forsey. Roger Hutchinson, University of Toronto Quarterly
