Title
The Compassionate Rebel: Ernest E. Winch and His Times
Abstract
[This book] is not only the story of Ernest Winch, but an account of the early socialist and labour activities in British Columbia in which Ernest became involved with a bird's eye view of the legislative events during his tenure. It describes the evolution of a man who was a revolutionary socialist during the twenties and became one of the most persistent and successful reformers in Canada during his career in the B.C. legislature. --Publisher's description
