Jacques Parizeau
by Pierre Duchesne
For the authorized biography of former Quebec premier Jacques Parizeau, the biographer met Jacques Parizeau for 150 hours, over seven years of work, and conducted interviews with 170 people. Le croisé(1930-1980) covers early childhood education and the first steps in politics of the former prime minister. The story ends when the Parti Quebecois painfully face the consequences of the October crisis. Le baron (1970-1985) covers friendships, loyalties, betrayals and opposition, as well as activism, suspicion about federal espionage, elections, and during the first budget as finance minister. The third and final book, Le régent (1985-1995) captures and reveals some disturbing facts, finding its conclusion following the second referendum on Quebec sovereignty. This defeat marked the end of the dream of a man who fought his whole life for a single ideal.
