Description

This book shines a light of devastating clarity on French-Canadian society within the 1930s and 1940s, when young elites were raised to be pro-fascist, and democratic and liberal were terms of criticism. The model leaders to be admired were good Catholic dictators like Mussolini, Salazar in Portugal, Franco in Spain, and especially Pétain, collaborator with the Nazis in Vichy France. There were even demonstrations against Jews who were demonstrating against what the Nazis were doing in Germany.

Trudeau, far from being the insurrection that other biographers have claimed, embraced this ideology. At his elite school, Brébeuf, he used to be a model student, the editor of the school magazine, and admired by the group of workers and his fellow students. But the fascist ideas and the people he admired – even if the war used to be going on, as late as 1944 – included extremists so terrible that on the war’s end they were shot. And then there’s his manifesto and his plan to stage a revolution against les Anglais.

This is astonishing material – and it’s all demonstrably true – in response to personal papers of Trudeau that the authors were allowed to get right of entry to after his death.What they’ve found has astounded and distressed them, but they both agree that the truth should be published.

Translated from the forthcoming French edition by William Johnson, this explosive book is sure to hit the headlines.
