Trudeau's Tango: Alberta Meets Pierre Elliott Trudeau, 1968-1972 de Darryl Raymaker

Trudeau's Tango: Alberta Meets Pierre Elliott Trudeau, 1968-1972

Autor Darryl Raymaker
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 mai 2017
Trudeau appeared to enjoy the encounter. He stood his ground while escaping projectiles, including a tomato... In this insightful and lively history, Liberal insider Darryl Raymaker recalls the attempt to broker "a marriage from hell" between the federal Liberal Party and Alberta's Social Credit government in the late 1960s. Raymaker uses his deep connections and backroom knowledge to trace the tangled political relationships that developed when charismatic statesman Pierre Trudeau confronted the forces of oil and agriculture in Canada's west. Part memoir, part chronicle, Trudeau's Tango provides a window into Canadian history, politics, economics, and the zeitgeist of the late 1960s. Foreword by Lloyd Axworthy.

Recenzii

"Trudeaus Tango is part memoir, part documentary of the geographic, cultural and political divisions that are a permanent fixture of Confederation. The fact we held it together remains a world-class achievement. Trudeaus Tango makes compelling reading for any Canada 150 book club.... Trudeaus Tango is a fresh and lively account of politics with sharp elbows." -- Holly Doan, Blacklock's Reporter, 24 June 2017
"After he sold his Calgary practice, Darryl Raymakerlawyer, corporate director, political junkie, folk music aficionado and raconteurembarked on a lifetime labour of love: a book about the wayward course of the Liberal Party in Alberta and its love-hate relationship with Pierre Elliott Trudeau during the prime minister's first mandate (1968 to 1972) 'Trudeaus Tango' is the ably written result. [H]is book recalls a tumultuous political era with wry humour and a touch of anger." Frank Dabbs, Alberta Views, September 2017
"...Darryl Raymaker, has recently written an excellent book about Alberta and the Trudeaus, called Trudeau's Tango. In his compendious book, Raymaker reminds everyone that the Trudeau name has always been controversial in Albertabut respected, too. The Trudeau name gave 'Alberta Liberals hope,' Raymaker writes. The father, thenlike the son, now'was a man for his timenew, youthful, superbly confident, tough and equally articulate in both official languages.' What made Pierre Trudeau appealing in Alberta in his era makes the son just as appealing in his." Warren Kinsella, HuffPost, July 12, 2017
