ROY MACLAREN ’91 (M.Th.), ’96 (D.S.L. Hons.)
Mackenzie King in the Age of the Dictators leads readers through the political labyrinth that led to Canada’s involvement in the Second World War and its awakening as a forceful nation on the world stage. MacLaren draws extensively from King’s diaries and letters and contemporary sources to provide a focused view of an important period in Canadian history. Replete with insightful stories, Mackenzie King in the Age of the Dictators shows Canada flexing its foreign policy under King’s cautious eye and ultimately ineffective guiding hand.

TERRY KEENLEYSIDE ’62
All the Way is a novel about lifelong friendship and the challenges confronted along the way. Three of the chapters are set at the University of Toronto, principally at Trinity College.
Beginning in 1958 when the principal characters are full of youthful vigour, the story traces the evolution of their ties over a span of 60 years as their interests and ambitions alter and they cope with shifting social norms. Their friendships are frequently put to the test as they wrestle with clashes they never anticipated in their youth. All The Way is an entertaining novel that uses both humorous and dramatic episodes to explore the foundations on which friendships are built and then alter. (Borealis Press)
TIM PLUMPTRE ’65
The Intrepid Nonprofit is a playbook for nonprofit leaders to help them navigate the turbulent environment ahead. It examines difficult challenges facing nonprofits, such as shrinking or stagnating revenue sources, technological change, under-performing boards, staff turnover, mission drift, or measuring intangible results. Drawing insights from organizations that have not only prospered but sometimes achieved outstanding results, the book outlines practical strategies for success, including some out-of-the-box approaches to leadership. It also calls upon governments and foundations to do more to support the sector. Tomorrow’s nonprofit leaders will have to be intrepid — resolute, imaginative, adaptable, and courageous. This book will inspire and sustain them when the going gets tough. (Friesen Press)
