“I want to make money,” said Black. “I can do so much more with money…”
And make money he did. From his not-so-humble beginnings, Conrad Black built a media empire that stretched around the globe. The Daily Telegraph of London, the Jerusalem Post, Canada’s National Post, the Chicago Sun-Times and scores of others—all these were Black newspapers.
In this remarkable book, journalist and author George Tombs tracks the rise and fall of one of Canada’s most colorful figures. Lord Black paints a portrait of a brilliant, complex and driven man. Here is Black as the angry and rebellious student who is expelled from the country’s top school. Here, too, is Black as the future staunch supporter of Israel cultivating ties with one of Quebec’s leading pro-Vichy, anti-Jewish personalities. We find a man who embraced liberalism before becoming one of the key voices of conservatism on the world stage. And we see Black fall hopelessly in love with the beautiful and brilliant journalist Barbara Amiel.

A page-turner that will have many re-examining Canada’s role in the Cold War!
On September 5th 1945, Igor Gouzenko – a cipher clerk at the Soviet legation in Ottawa – walked out of the building never to return. At first, few recognized the significance of his defection. But that changed two days later when military officials at the Soviet diplomatic mission launched a failed attempt to capture Gouzenko and drag him back to Soviet soil. Why would Moscow risk the diplomatic consequences of such a blatant violation of international law? The Royal Canadian Mounted Police decided to take a closer look at the documents. What they found would lead to one of the great spy scandals of modern times – one that would spark the Cold War and change the world forever. And for Gordon Lunan, the cost would be his freedom.
An officer in the Canadian military and a speechwriter for Paul Martin (father of the future prime minister of Canada), Lunan was tried and convicted of helping the Soviets. For his crimes, he would spend five years in one of Canada’s toughest prisons. Was he really guilty? Did he—as charged—pass secrets to the Soviets? For the first time ever Lunan reveals the truth.
