Description of  Duffy: Stardom to Senate to Scandal

Mike Duffy made his name as a political reporter, and in the process became one of Prince Edward Islands most famous exports. He cast himself as the ultimate insider, Parliament Hills man in the know. It made him a household name and one of the Canadas best-paid journalists. But Duffy wanted to get even closer and lobbied his way into the Canadian Senate, with dire results. Veteran journalist Dan Leger tells the story of Duffys rise to the top in Canadian media, his entanglement with the Harper Conservatives, and the scandal that made him one of the most controversial figures in contemporary politics. Includes a foreword by CBCs Peter Mansbridge and an eight-page colour photo insert. Read more
