A Life on the Fringe: The Memoirs of Eugene Forsey

By Eugene Forsey

Before he died in February 1991 Eugene Forsey had the pleasure of reading these tributes to his autobiography, A Life on the fringe, and of seeing it nominated for a Governor General's Award and become a bestseller. Dr. Forsey writes warmly of his association and friendship with a host of people-including Stephen Leacock, Donald Creighton, Arthur Meighen, John Diefenbaker, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, M.J. Coldwell, Stanley Knowles, F.R. Scott, King Gordon, and Carl Goldenberg-many of whom are discussed in the chapter entitled 'Of Politics and Politicians'.

A Life on the Fringe is an informative, often humorous, storyladen account of a life of distinguished service that covers most of this century.
