Book Synopsis The Cold War in Val-d'Or by : Myron Momryk
Download or read book The Cold War in Val-d'Or written by Myron Momryk and published by Mosaic Press. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cold War in Val-d'Or, A History of the Ukrainian community in Val-d'Or, Quebec is a mini-history of an ethnocultural community in northwestern Quebec. The story has many similarities to the evolution of immigrant and ethnocultural groups in many one-industry towns in northern Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba. This study should be of special interest to the many former residents of Val-d'Or who lived in an isolated resource town in a predominantly francophone milieu. The mining economy and the local cultural environment shaped this community but also the left-right political rivalry during the Cold War years documented in the surveillance reports prepared by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). This surveillance by the RCMP may also interest students and researchers in Canadian labour and political history. Ukrainian immigrants arrived in the Abitibi region as prospectors and miners in the 1930s and established the first rival pro-communist and nationalist community organizations that reflected their political orientation. This rivalry was the &‘motor' that activated the community but also perpetuated political differences that is the main theme of this study.

Book excerpt: "This is an important contribution to the understanding of Canadian and Quebec history, and to an appreciation of a unique Ukrainian community which found itself resident in Quebec from the early part of the 20th century. "The declaration of the First World War on August 15, 1914 against Imperial Germany and Austria-Hungary by Great Britain found several thousand recent Ukrainian immigrants across Canada in a difficult situation. Those who were not naturalized were considered as "enemy aliens" and they were subject to registration and, if necessary, internment...Among the internment camps established in various parts of Canada, an internment camp was established on 13 January, 1915 at Spirit Lake (near Amos, Quebec) to hold "enemy aliens"...The plans were to use the internees to clear the land and develop an experimental farm to aid in the settlement of this region... The first internees arrived in January 1915 in the middle of winter..Among the 1,144 Austrian prisoners interned in this camp in 1916 were a large number of Galicians or Ukrainians, recent immigrants from Austria-Hungary.." So begins this unique historical narrative written by Myron Momryk. "The case of Val-d'Or is especially interesting, being a city situated 530 kilometres northwest of Montreal and in may respects similar to the mining communities with significant Ukrainian populations established around the same time in Kirkland Lake and Timmins, across the border in Ontario.These and other cities and towns that grew around resource industries in remote ares in the Canadian Shield have a distinct make-up, which was naturally reflected in their Ukrainian organizational activity. Having a strong working-class character, they frequently witnessed strikes and labour unrest that were influenced in no small part by ideological differences between radical trade unionists sympathetic to the Communist Party and the Soviet Union, and the often more conservative immigrants from Ukraine. Although seemingly far removed from world events, the Cold War was very much a factor in some of the developments that took place in the one-industry settlements in the northern reaches of Ontario and Quebec."--

Book Synopsis Historical Dictionary of Cold War Counterintelligence by : Nigel West
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Cold War Counterintelligence written by Nigel West and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2007-01-26 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The defection of Igor Gouzenko in September 1945, more so than any other single event, alerted the West to the nature and scale of the Soviet espionage offensive being waged by the Kremlin. Apart from the dozen or so defendants convicted of spying, Gouzenko wrecked an organization that had taken years to develop, exposed the penetration of the Manhattan atomic weapons project, and demonstrated the very close relationship between the Canadian Communist Party and Moscow. Many credit this event as sparking the bitter but secretive struggle fought between the intelligence agencies of the East and West for nearly half a century. The Historical Dictionary of Cold War Counterintelligence tells the story of both sides' fierce efforts to penetrate and subvert the opponent while desperately trying to avoid a similar fate. Through a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on the organizations, operations, events, and personalities that influenced counterintelligence during the Cold War, the world of double agents, spies, and moles is explained in the most comprehensive reference currently available.

Download or read book The Cold War written by Odd Arne Westad and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive history of the Cold War and its impact around the world We tend to think of the Cold War as a bounded conflict: a clash of two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, born out of the ashes of World War II and coming to a dramatic end with the collapse of the Soviet Union. But in this major new work, Bancroft Prize-winning scholar Odd Arne Westad argues that the Cold War must be understood as a global ideological confrontation, with early roots in the Industrial Revolution and ongoing repercussions around the world. In The Cold War, Westad offers a new perspective on a century when great power rivalry and ideological battle transformed every corner of our globe. From Soweto to Hollywood, Hanoi, and Hamburg, young men and women felt they were fighting for the future of the world. The Cold War may have begun on the perimeters of Europe, but it had its deepest reverberations in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, where nearly every community had to choose sides. And these choices continue to define economies and regimes across the world. Today, many regions are plagued with environmental threats, social divides, and ethnic conflicts that stem from this era. Its ideologies influence China, Russia, and the United States; Iraq and Afghanistan have been destroyed by the faith in purely military solutions that emerged from the Cold War. Stunning in its breadth and revelatory in its perspective, this book expands our understanding of the Cold War both geographically and chronologically, and offers an engaging new history of how today's world was created.
