Marcel Cadieux was perhaps the most influential Francophone diplomat and civil servant in Canadian history. The son of a Montreal letter carrier, he joined the Department of External Affairs in 1941, rising in time to become the first Francophone ambassador to the United States, as well as head of the department. His career intersects with many of the crucial moments in Canadian foreign policy from the Second World War through the Cold War, Vietnam War, and the coming of détente. Drawing on Cadieux’s unpublished diary, Brendan Kelly’s biography illuminates events and personalities that are still debated today.
Brendan Kelly is a Junior Fellow of the Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History, and teaches in the International Relations Program at Trinity College, University of Toronto. He is also Book Review Editor of International Journal.
