	CM Magazine: John Diefenbaker: An Appointment with Destiny. (Quest Library, 9).
		Because we have come to think of Diefenbaker primarily in his role as a national leader of the Progressive Conservative Party, the book performs a useful service in showing how his political education was, in fact, shaped at the provincial and municipal levels.

		Often people like Diefenbaker come to embody the attitudes and perspectives of a significant segment of the population, and, in his case, these arguably included the "alienated" and westerners suspicious of multiculturalism and bilingualism.
