      2011., PMA Productions Call No: DVD Bio B365r    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Extraordinary CanadiansSummary Note: Considered by some to be one of Canada's most ambitious political and cultural figures and considered by many more to be an untrustworthy, trouble-making tycoon Lord Beaverbrook, né William Maxwell Aitken, is certainly one of the country's more enticing historical figures. Born on the Miramichi river in New Brunswick in 1879, Beaverbrook left Canada in 1910 to become a multimillionaire press baron, businessman and English politician, and was one the most powerful Canadians living in England at that time. Beaverbrook's greatest irony, however, was that despite his many successes, his one real goal to create a stronger link between Canada and the British Empire he so admired was never achieved.
