Book excerpt: From its beginnings, broadcasting in Canada has been a battlefield, with the larger-than-life entrepreneurs who fell in love with the new medium locked in battle with government and meddlesome "do-gooders" impressed by the cultural power of radio. The first fight of the radio pioneers was over advertising, and initially, the private broadcasters won: commercials were here to stay, making radio an immensely profitable industry. But the biggest battle of the early years was between private broadcasters and those who lobbied against the new commercial adventurers: should the airwaves be used to sell things and entertain, or to enrich and educate Canadians? The struggle consumed both sides for years, even after the establishment of national public radio in 1936. The advent of television in the early 1950s merely moved the war to fresh terrain. By the early 1980s, the private broadcasters appeared to have won, but a new player arrived on the scene -- the cable industry. The proliferation of specialty channels threatened the end of mass, national audiences for television, but in an ironic twist, the small, specialty audiences for cable awoke private broadcasters to the need for specialized Canadian programming. The swashbucklers who battled for control of the airwaves - and over what is broadcast on them - have left behind them a rich record, one that Nash brings to life in this vivid and entertaining story of the men - the Sedgwicks of Toronto, the Siftons of the Prairies, the Thomsons of Ontario, the Bassetts and the Rogers of Toronto, the Aspers of Winnipeg, the Shaws of Calgary, the Chandlers of Vancouver, the Peladeaus of Quebec, along with Moses Znaimer of CITY TV and Ivan Fecanof CTV - who together have entertained us (and tried to sell us things) in the privacy of our living rooms for much of this century.

Book excerpt: Forget all you think you know about the Kennedy years. With narrative flair and sparkling storytelling, acclaimed historian John Boyko explores the crucial period when America and its allies were fighting the Cold War's most treacherous battles, Canadians were trading sovereignty for security, and everyone feared a nuclear holocaust. At the centre of this story are three leaders. President John F. Kennedy pledged to pay any price to advance his vision for America's defence and needed Canada to step smartly in line. Fighting him at every turn was Conservative prime minister John Diefenbaker, an unapologetic nationalist trying to bolster Canada's autonomy. Liberal leader Lester Pearson, the Nobel Prize-winning diplomat, sought a middle ground. Boyko employs meticulous research and newly released documents to present shocking revelations. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, Canadian warships guarded America's Atlantic coast and Canada suffered a silent coup d'état. Canada was involved in Kennedy's sliding America into Vietnam. Kennedy knew the nuclear missiles he was forcing on Canada would be decoys, there only to draw Soviet nuclear fire. Kennedy's pollster and political adviser travelled to Ottawa under a fake passport to help defeat the Canadian government. And, perhaps most startlingly, if not for Diefenbaker, Kennedy may have survived the bullets in Dallas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the life and times of Roméo LeBlanc, one of Canada's most popular and successful politicians and statesmen. Probably best known as the long-standing fisheries minister in Pierre Trudeau's cabinet from 1974 to 1982, LeBlanc's career spanned the golden era of Liberalism in Canada. He capped his career during the nineties as the country's twenty-fifth governor general. Historian Naomi E. S. Griffiths spent many years reading through LeBlanc's papers and interviewing many of his colleagues to explore the worlds he moved in -- Paris in the late forties and early fifties, world capitals during his time as a journalist, and then Ottawa. As a writer with an in-depth knowledge of the Acadian communities of the Maritimes, she knows his roots very well. Her biography covers his early years in New Brunswick where he was born into rural poverty, his years as a journalist in Ottawa, his heyday as a minister in Trudeau's cabinet, and his years at Rideau Hall. Along the way, Ms. Griffiths reveals many intriguing insights about her subject's contemporaries, including Lester Pearson, Pierre Trudeau, and Jean Chrétien. She also discusses the importance of LeBlanc's Acadian heritage in animating all that he did. This engrossing biography illuinates the life of one of Canada's most beloved politicians and statesmen and, with it, a fascinating era in our history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The years when John Diefenbaker’s Progressive Conservatives were in office were among the most tumultuous in Canadian history. Coming to power on a surge of optimistic nationalism in 1957, the “Rogue Tory” had stirred up more controversy than any previous prime minister by the time he was defeated in 1963. This was nowhere more apparent than in his handling of international affairs. This book reassesses foreign policy in the Diefenbaker era to determine whether its failures can be mainly attributed to the prime minister’s personality traits, particularly his indecisiveness, or to broader shifts in world affairs. Written by leading scholars who mine new sources of archival research, the chapters examine the full range of international issues that confronted Diefenbaker and his ministers and probe the factors that led to success or failure, decision or indecision, on specific issues. Rather than dismissing Diefenbaker as a “Rogue Tory” on the world stage, this fascinating reconsideration of the Diefenbaker years challenges readers to push beyond the conventional and reassess his record with fresh eyes.

Book excerpt: The Microphone Wars is the astonishing and sometimes hilarious chronicle of the CBC, full of larger-than-life characters, incidents of skulduggery, and moments of both despair and exhilaration, and all underpinned by the good humour and acumen of its author. The CBC is the most intensely scrutinized institution in Canada. Everyone, it seems, has an opinion on it. Yet, oddly, its history has never been fully told before. But now the missing story that reveals all has been written – by the one person with intimate knowledge of the CBC who can be absolutely fair Knowlton Nash, who retired from the corporation in 1992. Nash brings his extensive contacts, his own experiences, his journalist’s objectivity, and his tremendous research and storytelling skills to the Byzantine tale of Canada’s public broadcaster. Ever since the 1920s, when radio took Canada by storm, there has been war between those who want to use the airwaves solely for commercial profit and those who believe in public broadcasting for its role in education and nation-building. There have been battle between management and producers and stars; between the CBC and successive governments, Liberal and Conservative alike; between the CBC board and its executives; between the private broadcasters and the CBC; even between various CBC luminaries and the bottle. Along with his vivid and intimate portraits of these fights, Nash gives us the stories of the CBC’s many triumphs, from Foster Hewitt’s early play-by-play of Saturday Night hockey games and Matthew Halton’s dramatic broadcasts from the frontlines of the Second World War, to the magic of TV in the 1950s, the renaissance of CBC Radio in the 1970s, and CBC TV’s drama and comedy hit programs in the 1980s. There have been betrayals aplenty too, by governments determined to curb the CBC’s independence by ones means or another, or to starve it into submission, and by insiders plotting the demise of controversial programs and equally controversial producers and personalities. Based on countless hours of research, on interviews with forty major figure from the CBC’s more recent past, and on as many oral history tapes recorded by earlier CBC leaders, The Microphone Wars is the definitive popular history of Canada’s public broadcaster.
