Beyond Politics - Frank McKenna

“Sawler ably recounts Frank McKenna’s remarkable career… It is a portrait of an extremely able, intelligent, dedicated public servant and private citizen. Frank McKenna is an old-fashioned man with modern ideas.”
– President Bill Clinton

"The chapters on why McKenna didn't run for the leadership of the federal Liberals and to be prime minister of Canada will fascinate political junkies."
– Stephen Llewellyn, Fredericton Daily Gleaner

"Sawler is at his best in describing the networking and conniving at this level of politics."
– Geoff Lambert, Winnipeg Free Press

"Dare I say it in a Nova Scotian newspaper, but is McKenna – and not Robert Stanfield – the greatest prime minister Canada never had?.......The chapters covering McKenna’s brief spell in Washington are the best part of the book. …..a celebration of Frank McKenna."
– Dan Leger, Halifax Chronicle-Herald

"Sawler’s book provides a fresh look at McKenna as a politician, diplomat, businessman and citizen by examining each facet and demonstrating how they fit together."
– Jesse Robichaud, Moncton Times and Transcript
