Page "William Lyon Mackenzie King" Paragraph 1
from
Wikipedia
According to his biographers, King lacked the typical personal attributes of great leaders, especially in comparison with Franklin D. Roosevelt of the U. S., Winston Churchill of Great Britain, Charles de Gaulle of France, or even Joey Smallwood of Newfoundland.
Voters did not love him.
He lacked charisma, a commanding presence or oratorical skills ; he did not shine on radio or in newsreels.
His best writing was academic.
Cold and tactless in human relations, he had allies but very few close personal friends ; he never married and lacked a hostess whose charm could substitute for his chill.
His allies were annoyed by his constant intrigues.
He kept secret his beliefs in spiritualism and use of mediums to stay in contact with departed associates and particularly with his mother, and allowed his intense spirituality to distort his understanding of Adolf Hitler.
