DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï-Queens University Press and the ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï\nBookstore 
 welcome you to join us for the launch of Prof. Carman\nMiller’s book\, A K
 night in Politics: A Biography of Sir Frederick\nBorden. There will be a b
 rief talk on the story of the imperial\nstatesman and military reformer wh
 o modernized Canada's armed\nforces\, and a chance to ask the author quest
 ions.\n \nSir Frederick Borden (1847-1917)\, physician and\nentrepreneur\,
  was Canada's longest-serving minister of defence. His\nuntidy private lif
 e\, however\, often captured more attention than\nhis public service. A Kn
 ight in Politics explores the history of\nthe controversial public figure 
 who led Canada's armed forces\nthrough the South African War\, expanded an
 d modernized the\ncountry's military from 1896 to 1911\, and prepared them
  for service\nin the First World War.\n\nDerided as a buffoon and an ignor
 ant civilian by military critics\,\nBorden became the public's lightning r
 od and Prime Minster Wilfrid\nLaurier's point man for negotiating Canada's
  sensitive military\nagenda during an era of high imperialism. Carman Mill
 er presents a\nbalanced assessment that seamlessly blends history and soci
 al and\ncultural analysis to highlight Borden's relationships within the\n
 contemporary web of nepotism\, patronage\, business\, and family. A\ndetai
 led account of the leading role Borden played in the\ndevelopment of moder
 n Canada\, A Knight in Politics showcases the\ntransition to corporate cap
 italism and changes in public morality\nand social and political relations
 hips during the 'Age of\nCamelot.'\n
