Boards show light shelf wear, DJ has heavier shelf wear with chipping and short tears, sun-faded on spine. ; A tight solid book, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped. Illustrated with B&W photos and caricatures ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 311 pages; "Rumours of War is both a definitive analysis of the Canada's October Crisis and a profound reflection of the value of individual civil liberties. The kidnapping of James Cross, the murder of Pierre Laporte, the proclamation of the War Measures Act under which hundreds of innocent citizens were arrested and held without trial--all these events have become part of our national consciousness. The authors of this volume maintain that the government of the time overreacted to a marginal threat, making a mockery of our system of civil liberties in the process. Rumours of War is a comprehensive analysis of this crucial period in Canada's history." Sorry but I see it differently having lived in Ottawa at this time, saw troop transports cruising the streets in front of the Parliament buildings and felt safer for it. The FLQ participants were part of an extremist organisation.
