Peter Edwards - Author of Delusion-The True Story of Victorian Superspy Henri Le Caron

I really enjoyed the interview. It really was nice to speak to someone who had read and thought about the book. I liked the wrap up question about what lessons should be learned from Le Caron's story.

A good interview like that helps me focus my thoughts and makes it easier for me to talk about the book in the future. I'm giving a speech later in the week on Le Caron, and the interview with Brad will help me gather and focus my thoughts for that.

I liked the way each segment seemed to have a topic/theme. I also enjoyed and appreciated the chance to give full answers and not just snappy clips, as this is a pretty complicated story. I also liked the way the interview was tied to Father's Day.

After the interview, I drove my daughter back to university, and I told her how much I enjoyed the interview, and speaking to someone who had actually read the book and thought about it. When the publisher asks how the interview went, all I have is praise.

My only advice would be, Keep up the great work.

Thanks

Christopher Shulgan - The Soviet Ambassador PDF Print E-mail

Who would have thought that Canada played a role in bringing democracy to the former Soviet Union?  That's what Brad uncovered during his discussion with  journalist Christopher Shulgan as they discussed the book "The Soviet Ambassador".  The impact and example that Canada played in showing a former Stalinist that  democratic principles such as land ownership, free elections and a separate justice system could increase the happiness and productivity of a country were instrumental in changing the mind of an influential Soviet statesman.  A personal relationship that grew to the level of close friendship with Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau sowed the seeds of freedom in a man who was previously a hard-line communist.


This interview was a fitting tribute to the birthday of our nation.
