In October 1970, as revolution spread around the world, the Front de Libration du Qubec kidnapped James Cross, the British Trade Commissioner. As negotiations to free the hostage continued, Qubecs Vice-Premier was kidnapped and murdered. Brian Moores documentary novel recreates these events and asks: who were these young revolutionaries, what were their beliefs Brian Moore was in Montreal to investigate these events as they happened, interviewing those involved (from activists to politicians and police) and exploring the social and political background. In understanding the frustrations and radicalism of a group of Qubec separatists, he finds parallels with his own past: I found them to be young, ex-Catholic, nationalist It was a mixture I had known back in Ireland. Brian Moore uses the techniques of fiction to provide insight into a new world, in the theatre of confrontation, the curtain was going up.
