Robert MacDougall's quirky, opinionated personality speaks clearly, seeking to dispel some myths about Canada of the time by telling the "truth."This book deserves to be read by a wide audience."I don't know where else you could find such riches of information and observation, so compactly presented, about this exhilirating and trying time in our past.
