<p style='padding: 3px 0px 0px; text-align: left; color: rgb(58, 53, 42) !important; line-height: 1.5em; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: top; direction: ltr;'>English, who penned the definitive two volume Pierre Trudeau biography a few yeas back, knows the corridors of power very well and in the new book, he looks at the formation of the Arctic Council, a group of northern nations who explored the idea of responsible Arctic development and free of nuclear weapons as the Cold War began to wind down in the late 1980s. Initially a Russian proposal under Mikhail Gorbachev, this vague idea grew into an international effort shortly thereafter.
<br>
English looks at the history of the Canadian Arctic from day one and the many political footballs relative to the Canadian Arctic since the end of the Second World War. He takes a specific look at the Council under successive recent Liberal and Conservative governments with an eye toward the political and natural Northern climate. John English is an especially astute observer, whose fluid reportage and critical eye towards all political stripes is most welcome in an era of extreme partisanship.</p>

At the request of the Trudeau family he wrote the biography of Pierre Trudeau, both volumes of which were short-listed for the Governor-General's Non-Fiction Prize.</p>

<p style='padding: 3px 0px 0px; text-align: left; color: rgb(58, 53, 42) !important; line-height: 1.5em; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: top; direction: ltr;'>I am very impressed with Charlotte Gray's newest contribution to Canadian history, The Massey Murder.</p>
<p style='padding: 3px 0px 0px; text-align: left; color: rgb(58, 53, 42) !important; line-height: 1.5em; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: top; direction: ltr;'>Staged as a police procedural, sweeping you up like a well-crafted mystery novel, I couldn't put this book down. The Massey Murder follows the events of a maid who shot her employer point-blank in Toronto 1915. In the midst of all-consuming news during WW1, The Massey Murder took center stage in the media for weeks during the trial of Carrie Davies, the eighteen year old live-in domestic who quickly confessed to the crime. The prominence of the Massey family and their extensive contribution to the growing identity of Toronto (Massey Hall, etc), made this murder that much more sensational during a tumultuous time where the roles of women and domestic workers was quickly changing. I am impressed with the way Charlotte Gray weaves early newspaper media history with the beginnings of the feminist movement, science and forensics at the time, and how the first world war affected those at home, to re-create an incredibly thought-provoking story. You will still be thinking about this book, and the fate of Carrie Davies, weeks after reading it.</p>
