Crazy Town: The Rob Ford Story

By Robyn Doolittle

Book Overview

Rob Ford's drug and alcohol-fuelled antics made world headlines and engulfed a city in unprecedented controversy. Reporter Robyn Doolittle was one of three journalists to view the video of Ford appearing to smoke crack cocaine. Her dogged pursuit of the story uncovered disturbing details about the mayor's past and shone a light on the history of substance abuse and criminal behaviour that has beset the Fords, one of the most ambitious families in Canada.

After Doolittle helped break news of a second crack video, Ford entered rehab. Stripped of his mayoral powers, he nevertheless ran for mayor in the October 2014 election.

Updated with new material, Crazy Town is a page-turning and insightful portrait of a troubled man, a formidable family, and a city caught in a jaw-dropping scandal.
