Hugh Segal is that rare political animal: a Progressive Conservative partisan who is liked and respected by members of all political parties and who is one of our favorite political pundits. He brings clear-eyed. pragmatic and humorous perspective to this candid and thoughtful memoir, a book that reflects on the true mission of the Progressive Conservative Party and offers insights into Canada's most powerful leaders and their political strategies, past, present and future.

Forthright, wry and unabashedly partisan - like Hugh Segal himself - No Surrender is an engaging personal and political read.
