Newman is widely respected for his intimate knowledge and understanding of Canadian business leaders. His 1975 book, The Canadian Establishment was widely acclaimed. Newman had made his name as an author in the 1960s with Renegade in Power: The Diefenbaker Years (1963), a study of the government of John George Diefenbaker that some say helped destroy the Tory leader's career and The distemper of our times (1968), that examined Canadian politics during the era of Lester Pearson. 1975 was a common year starting on Wednesday (the link is to a full 1975 calendar). ... 1960 was a leap year starting on Friday (link will take you to calendar). ...

On September 12, 2005, he announced the publication of The Secret Mulroney Tapes: Unguarded Confessions of a Prime Minister, a biography of former Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney, a man he claims was his friend. The information released to the press contained several surprising revelations, including an alleged claim by Mulroney that Pierre Trudeau's contribution "was not to build Canada but to destroy it." Later the same day, Mulroney issued a press release stating he felt "devastated" and "betrayed" by the publication of information he had understood to be confidential.

Newman's sense of responsibility is highly debatable, and his newly released book is regarded as very controversial by Canadians. Many would argue that he deliberately exploited and betrayed Mulroney, who trusted Newman as a friend.

Newman has been married 4 times.
