Doug Ford says a new book is coming out in November about his younger brother and late Toronto mayor, Rob Ford.

The book, 288 pages long, will be called Ford Nation: Two Brothers, One Vision – The True Story of the People's Mayor by Rob Ford and Doug Ford. It will be published on November 22 by HarperCollins.

Doug Ford, the former Toronto councillor and mayoral candidate, told reporters at his family's Etobicoke home that the book will "call out" members of the media who he says lied about his brother and other politicians who had substance-abuse issues.

"It will rock the political world. It will rock the media world," Ford said Tuesday. "It's going to be the true story of the people's mayor."

Ford said the book, the proceeds of which will go to charity, is not about revenge. Rob Ford died of cancer in March.

"No revenge," he said. "When I get asked certain questions there's a little bit of anger when the truth wasn't told. I don't want to paint the brush with all media outlets because there are great media folk out there, but a couple lied and lied and lied to sell advertising, to sell their newspapers and they're going to be called out in it."

Colleen Simpson, publicity director for HarperCollins Canada in Toronto, said the book is primarily written by Doug Ford, with the help of a writer and editorial guidance from the publisher. She said Rob Ford was a "significant part" of the process until his death. The book will be published as a hardcover and is a narrative told in each of the brother's voices.

HarperCollins said in a statement that the book is also about the Ford family.

"In their own voices, Rob and Doug recount their family's struggles and triumphs, beginning with the marriage of their parents, who worked tirelessly to get their company, Deco Labels and Tags, off the ground; to Doug Sr.'s entry into provincial politics; to the thousands of doors Rob and Doug knocked on when campaigning in Etobicoke; to Rob's time in the mayor's office," it said.

"Unfortunately Rob became gravely ill while we were working on the book, and he insisted we finish what we started, drawing on a number of sources. We are looking forward to bringing this remarkable story to the legions of Ford supporters," Gifford said in a statement.

In an overview of the book, HarperCollins said it will feature the "real story" behind Rob Ford.

"During his tumultuous term as mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford always stayed on message – saving taxpayers money and putting the brakes on the gravy train at city hall – and returned every call, even showing up on people's doorsteps late at night to help them with their problems. But despite his hard work to cut excessive spending and to address the city's crumbling infrastructure, the media instead delighted in showcasing Ford's most personal struggles," it said.

The city, the country, the entire world watched Rob Ford battle substance abuse, but they rarely saw or heard the real story behind Ford – the family man, the faithful public servant, the devoted husband, father, and brother who put the people of his city above all else."

Doug Ford said he will return to politics, but he declined to say whether it will be at the municipal, provincial or federal level.

Recently, he campaigned for PC candidate Raymond Cho in Scarborough-Rouge River, helping the former city councillor win a seat in the Ontario Legislature.

Ford was also recently spotted at a community event with PC Leader Patrick Brown.

However, at the recent "Ford Fest" event — the first since his brother's death — Ford said his supporters were split "50/50" about whether he should run provincially or make a second run at becoming Toronto's mayor.

Ford hasn't held political office since losing to John Tory in the 2014 election. He finished second in that race, securing nearly 34 per cent of the vote.
