Harper's Team

Tom Flanagan is professor of political science at the University of Calgary, former director of research for the Reform Party, and former campaign manager for Stephen Harper's Conservative Party.

"The best book written to date about the new Conservatives." The Literary Review of Canada "If you want a window onto what is going on in Ottawa, look to Tom Flanagan." The Toronto Star "Hits the sweet spot for political junkies of all stripes ... a crisply written behind the scenes lesson in winning power." Policy Options "Readers are likely to learn more here about the man who leads our government and the way he thinks than from any other book to date." The Montreal Gazette "This is an excellent insider's account of a seminal era in Canadian conservative history." Graeme Voyer, Winnipeg Free Press "Flanagan has been Mr. Harper's main strategist for years, and his new book - which I've just finished - should be required reading for all Canadians worried about honesty and truth in government." Garth Turner, MP
