In this anthology of speeches and writings since 1970, eminent Canadian thinkers, journalists, and political leaders explain how the government under Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau deceived people and denied justice in October 1970. Arguing that Trudeau violated the human rights of hundreds of individuals by imposing the War Measures Act--in response to the kidnappings of British Trade Consul James Cross and Labour Minister Pierre Laporte--this compilation reveals the motives behind the strained relationship between Quebec and Canada. This book includes material by Margaret Atwood, Tommy Douglas, Don Jamieson, Eric Kierans, Peter C. Newman, Brian Moore, and Desmond Morton.
