Böcker av Robert Bothwell

Alliance and Illusion is the definitive assessment of the domestic and international aspects of Canadian foreign policy in the modern era. Robert Bothwell provides nuanced studies of Canada's leaders and discusses international currents that drove Canadian external affairs, from American influence over Vietnam and the draft dodgers, to the French case of de Gaulle's eruption into Quebec in 1967. This definitive recounting and assessment of Canadian foreign policy in the modern era fills a crucial gap in Canadian history and provides invaluable context for understanding Canada's present-day foreign policy dilemmas.

Robert Bothwell, one of Canada's foremost historians, has told the Eldorado story with colour and drama. He has captured the excitement of frontier resource development in the 1930s and the intrigue of international politics in the 1940s and 1950s.

Key insiders from the Trudeau era offer behind-the-scenes insights into his foreign, trade, and defence policies, revealing them in a new - and clear - light.

In this revised edition of Canada and Quebec, Robert Bothwell describes the lead-up to the October 1995 referendum and traces political developments from its immediate aftermath to the present.

Canada's evolution is presented with remarkable clarity in this first general history of the country's postwar years.

As in their earlier work, the highly acclaimed Canada since 1945, the authors focus on the political context of events.
