New York, NY: W.W. Norton & Company, 1994 W.W. Norton & Company, New York. 1994. Hardcover. Stated First Edition/2nd Printing by line number. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Fine. DJ: Fine; NOT Price Clipped ($25.00). Tan paper over boards with beige cloth overlay on the spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. 267 pp 8vo. The author gives a convincing depiction of why and ho peaceful and decent Canada is likely to break up over the next ten years. As Quebec considers independence, the author warns that it would be the first stage in a painful and tragic unraveling of Canada. He also shows that the political and economic implications are enormous, not just for Canadians, but for Americans, who have long taken their northern neighbor for granted. A clean very presentable copy.
