James Stewart (J.D.M.) speaks with Patrice Dutil about his book, The Enduring Riddle of Mackenzie King. In his lifetime, Canadians often dismissed William Lyon Mackenzie King as a meritless interloper, yet numerous scholars have since ranked him as the best prime minister ever. Patrice Dutil leads a who’s who of historians to discuss why King deserves that estimation – or why not. This fresh, full assessment forms a new take on how King may – or may not – be the greatest of all Canadian prime ministers. The Enduring Riddle of Mackenzie King unwraps an enigma for scholars, students, and general readers interested in political history, Canadian history, and the history of the Second World War.

Patrice Dutil is a professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at Toronto Metropolitan University, a senior fellow of the Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History at the University of Toronto, and a senior fellow of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.
