Chronicling the true life of Canadian newsman Lukin “Rufus” Johnson, this never-before-told biography explains how one man went from labouring across the Canadian prairies and through the farms of Ontario to becoming the first Canadian newsman to interview Hitler. After beginning his career as a journalist only to be pulled away to serve in WWI, Rufus was not aware that his inevitable return to journalism would eventually lead him to interview the man who initiated a world war of his own.
