Talking It Out: The October Crisis From Inside

In October 1970, Canada experienced incredible social turmoil. What political restlessness that had been keeping Quebec on its toes finally exploded. Terrorist groups of young men and women, known as Front de liberation du Quebec (FLQ) decided to go down to the streets and attempted to bring about what had been for so long desired in many French-Canadian homes: Quebec's separation. Written in a compelling, personal style, Talking It Out is an inside account of one of the FLQ cells which kidnapped Pierre Laporte in October 1970, and the events as they unfolded from the perspective of the four men involved. This is a must for any person interested in the political analysis of society.
