At his elite school, Brébeuf, he was a model student, the editor of the school magazine,  and admired by the staff and his fellow students. But the fascist ideas and the people  he admired—even when the war was going on, as late as 1944—included extremists  so terrible that at the war’s end they were shot. And then there’s his manifesto  and his plan to stage a revolution against \u003ci\u003eles Anglais\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is astonishing material—and it’s all demonstrably true—based on Trudeau's personal papers that the authors  were allowed to access after his death. What they have found has astounded and distressed  them, but they both agree that the truth must be published. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Translated by William Johnson, this explosive book is a key part of Canadian political history.","brand":"Douglas Gibson Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44219731902719,"sku":"9780771067495","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780771067495_s600x595.jpg?v=1782147773","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780771067495","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
