Volume 2 of The Spiritualist Prime Minister: Mackenzie King and His Mediums examines how prominent mediums in Canada, New York, and London such as Etta Wriedt, Eileen Garrett, and Gladys Osborne Leonard influenced King before, during and after the Second World War.

The volume includes transcripts of seven of the Prime Minister's séances with Hester Dowden, Florence Jane Sharplin, Gladys Osborne Leonard, Helen Hughes, and Geraldine Cummins in London during 1945-1947. The through-line of the biography is King's search for means to communicate with the divine and to become a servant of God so that the material world could be transformed into the Kingdom of God on earth.

The two volumes draw readers into the mystery of Mackenzie King and show how he communicated with the spirit world. Ninety-six photographs animate the leading personalities discussed in the text. The biography makes fascinating reading for everyone interested in political studies, in the realms of Spiritualism and psychology, and in examinations of power.
