Thatcher versus Douglas: The CCF, the Liberals, and the Mossbank Debate of 1957 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781990863349)

On May 20, 1957, the small farming community of Mossbank, Saskatchewan was the venue for a face-to-face showdown between two politicians: Saskatchewan Premier T.C. Douglas and federal Liberal candidate Ross Thatcher. This book details the history of the two men, their rise to power, and the events that culminated in the Great Debate of 1957.

Who really were Douglas and Thatcher? What guided Douglas' decision to create the numerous Crown Corporations in the post-war years? How did the visions of these two men, who were both originally members of the CCF Party, come to collide and conflict?

A great book for anyone interested in the history of T.C. Douglas, the CCF Party, or the political history of Saskatchewan.
