About This Item

Toronto: Viking, 1992. 'Rare Ambition' follows this extraordinary clan from its misty Viking beginnings all the way to the corridors of power in present-day Ottawa. Michael Harris has created an intimate portrait that takes the reader behind the scenes, balancing the Crosbies' public triumphs with their private tragedies, their rare ambition with the deadly alcoholism that has dogged them through the generations. Along side the energetic and at times, self-destructive Crosbie men were the women who loved them. Iron-willed and enduring they are all here in all the glory and anguish of their tumultuous alliances. This then, is one of the most colourful family sagas in Canadian history - the Crosbies of Newfoundland. Author's note, a section of photographs, thirteen very interesting chapters, epilogue, bibliography and index supplied. Price-intact photo dust jacket. A bright, most respectable copy.. First Edition, First Printing. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good.
