The Early Years

William Maxwell Aitken was born in 1879 in Ontario into a family of ten children.

They moved to Newcastle where Max started on the path as a publisher...

The Canadian in Britain

Lord Beaverbrook became a well-known political figure in Britain.

He mingled with world leaders in politics, finance and newspapers.

Publisher & Benefactor

After the war, Beaverbrook left politics and established a chain of British newspapers.

He also wrote books on his wartime experiences.

On the rock bound coast of New Brunswick the waves break incessantly. Every now and then comes a particularly dangerous wave that breaks viciously into the rock. It is called "The Rage". That's me.
