Race Traitor: The True Story of Canadian Intelligence's Greatest Cover-Up (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781502779717)

RACE TRAITOR is the visceral true story of a teenage girl who becomes entangled in Canada's most powerful white supremacist group, the Heritage Front - a domestic terrorist group later revealed to have been created and funded with the assistance of Canada's spy agency, CSIS. To sixteen-year old runaway Elisse, the new friends she encounters in the secretive Heritage Front are the family she's never had. They feed her when she's hungry, watch her back, and Wolfgang Droege, one of the group's charismatic leaders, introduces her to a trusted friend, notorious Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel, who provides her with shelter and work. In less than a year, Elisse evolves into an extremist groomed for a leadership role in the far-right movement. Her loyalty earns her the attention of Grant Bristow, co-founder of the Heritage Front, who is training a secret faction of skinheads and neo-Nazis in information-gathering and terror tactics targeting political opponents. Rapidly drawn into their web of hatred, Elisse witnesses an escalating campaign of terror from which there seems no way out. Forced to confront her sexual orientation and secret heritage, Elisse realizes that she must fight back. But when she attempts to shut down the vicious organization that had brainwashed her and terrorized innocent Canadians, she learns that a darker force is behind the fa ade of the Heritage Front: Canada's own spy agency, backed by the government that was supposed to protect her. At only eighteen, Elisse's testimony will lead to the criminal convictions of prominent white supremacists including Wolfgang Droege. Within months, Grant Bristow would be exposed as an undercover CSIS agent. Although Operation Governor never led to the arrest of a single Canadian racist, Bristow will be placed into the Witness Protection Program and given a package worth hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars, while the teenage girl who had named him as a criminal will be denied police protection and forced to go on the run for her life.
