In the Eye of the Eagle

Based on 240 inter­views and thou­sands of US docu­ments, this book reveals in rich detail the rela­tion­ships bet­ween American policy‐makers and the Quebec natio­na­list move­ment, from John Kennedy (a pru­dent sym­pa­thi­ser) to Ronald Reagan, whose right flank enjoyed toying with Quebec sepa­ra­tism to annoy Canadian Prime minis­ter Pierre Trudeau, vie­wed as a socia­list.

The French ver­sion of this book won Canada's highest lite­ra­ry award.
