First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A clean and unmarked copy-For anyone interested in Canada's political history in the second half of the 20th century, this collection of essays is essential reading. Subtitled The Trudeau Years, the book covers the period from 1968 to 1984 when Trudeau was prime minister, except for a short hiatus when Progressive Conservative Joe Clark was elected. The essays present the Liberal party view of national and international relations during the period, with a special focus on the persistent and vexatious Quebec question. A number of highly placed Liberals are included: Marc Lalonde writes on energy policy, John Roberts on the environment, and Jean Chretien on Canada's endless constitutional dance marathon. The lead essay, "The Tempest Bursting: Canada in 1992," by Axworthy and Trudeau, reveals profound intelligence at work and is excellent at placing Trudeau within the historical liberal context that began with the Greeks.
