Marcel Cadieux was one of the few, becoming arguably the most important francophone diplomat and civil servant in Canadian history. Brendan Kelly's insightful, entertaining biography reveals a complex figure. Born in 1915 to a Montreal letter carrier who believed that "having a son in Ottawa is like having a daughter who is a prostitute," Cadieux held the nationalist views of many young French Canadians in the 1930s. Yet he made the distinctly unconventional decision to join the Department of External Affairs in 1941. Against the backdrop of rising Quebec separatism and the Cold War, he headed the department from 1964 to 1970 and served as Canada's first francophone ambassador to the United States from 1970 to 1975. Drawing on Cadieux's unpublished diary--where this blunt, witty, strong-minded man was at his most unguarded--The Good Fight offers a unique window to domestic and foreign events and personalities whose legacies are still being debated. Cadieux believed deeply in the dignity of public service, writing several books on this theme. The principles reflected in his career still speak eloquently to readers today, when professionalism and expertise are often undervalued."-- $c Provided by publisher. 648 7 $a Since 1945 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 600 10 $a Cadieux, Marcel. 650 0 $a Diplomats $z Canada $v Biography. 651 0 $a Canada $x Foreign relations $y 1945- 776 08 $i Online version: $a Kelly, Brendan, 1984- $t Good fight. $d Vancouver ; Toronto : UBC Press, 2019 $z 9780774860017 $z 9780774860017 $w (OCoLC)1124762942 830 0 $a C.D.
