He focuses on Canada’s increased focus on education, technological transformation, war and depression, the creation of the United Nations, the wrongness of engaging Vietnam in war, the diabolical nuclear bomb, friendship with Bertrand Russell (whose papers are at McMaster), bright destiny of Canada and its vast natural resources.
