Beskrivning

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.

"Trudeau’s 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. Trudeau’s Tango makes compelling reading for any Canada 150 book club.... Trudeau’s Tango is a fresh and lively account of politics with sharp elbows." [Full review at https://www.blacklocks.ca/review-pierre-the-sodbusters/]
