“Politics is described as a bloodsport ... this book [has] taken it to a new level. I would call it a Game of Thrones kind of assassination.
—Cynthia Mulligan, CityNews, Toronto

“Brown lets the reader in on the inner workings of politics in a way that’s never been done before. … Laid out bluntly and honestly, there is a lot of retrospection.”
—Diana Davison, The Post Millennial

“Brampton Mayor-elect Patrick Brown’s new memoir breaks the mold of stodgy, predictable political biographies that employ pedestrian language to bore readers into submission … It’s a tell-all thriller and political takedown of Ontario Progressive Cons.”
—San Grewal, Publisher of The Pointer

“Former Ontario PC leader Patrick Brown comes out swinging in a new tell-all memoir.”
—Farrah Merali, CBC News

“To be honest, I couldn’t put it down.”
—Libby Znaimer, Zoomer Radio AM740 / FM 96.7 Toronto

Takedown, is the most compelling political memoir in a generation. The former leader takes you on an incredible journey through his life and the tumultuous year that ended with the author becoming the Mayor of Brampton. The book provides significant insights and a broad perspective on provincial and federal politics. It’s a behind the scenes look by a man who was destined to become Ontario’s next premier. It’s Doug Ford’s Ontario for now, but we can be assured that none of that 28 member caucus that supported Mr. Brown’s immediate resignation knew that history would unfold as it did, and those who quickly conspired to take control, lost out to Ford Nation.
