Kelly has deeply mined his primary sources in both official languages and has offered up a narrative that convincingly challenges some existing precepts of this period in Canadian diplomatic history. He offers us a convincing portrait of one of the greats in Canadian public service. In his Marcel Cadieux we see a selfless diplomat of firm and fearless skill, as well as a Canadian and Quebecois patriot deeply devoted to national unity. Through Brendan Kelly’s rendering, we also see Cadieux as the epitome of the human, networked, and connected diplomat.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Peter Boehm, Senate of Canada * International Journal *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Une excellente biographie consacrée à un haut fonctionnaire francophone d’une grande valeur, d’une grande　intégrité professionnelle, et dont la contribution fût marquante au service du Canada et qui, à certains égards, demeure toujours d’actualité.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- Jean-Pierre Juneau * Forum: Bulletin of Canadian Foreign Service *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"[B]y centering the French-Canadian perspective and focusing on the figure of Marcel Cadieux, \u003ci\u003eThe Good Fight \u003c\/i\u003eenriches our understanding of Canadian international history in the mid-twentieth century.\"\u003c\/p\u003e -- David Meren * American Review of Canadian Studies *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 The Birth of a French Canadian Nationalist, 1915–41 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 \u003cem\u003ePremières Armes:\u003c\/em\u003e Ottawa, London, Brussels, 1941–47 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 The Making of a Diplomat and Cold Warrior, 1947–55\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 A Versatile Diplomat, 1955–63\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 Departmental Tensions: Cadieux, Paul Martin Sr., and Canadian Foreign Policy, 1963–68\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 A Lonely Fight: Countering France and the Establishment of Quebec’s “International Personality,” 1963–67\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 The National Unity Crisis: Resisting Quebec and France at Home and in la Francophonie, 1967–70\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8 The Politician and the Civil Servant: Pierre Trudeau, Cadieux, and the DEA, 1968–70\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 Ambassadorial Woes: Washington, 1970–75\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 Final Assignments, 1975–81\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes; Bibliography; Index\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of British Columbia Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49404940419415,"sku":"9780774838979","price":35.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780774838979.jpg?v=1730488129","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-good-fight-9780774838979","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
