Synopsis
In the spirit of his father, Alexandre Trudeau revisits China to put a ground-breaking journey into a fresh, contemporary context. In 1960, Pierre Trudeau and Jacques Hébert, a labour lawyer and a journalist from Montréal, travelled to China in the midst of the Great Leap Forward. In 1968, when Two Innocents in Red China, Trudeau and Hébert’s sardonic look at a third world country’s first steps into the rest world, was released in English, Trudeau had become prime minister of Canada. ?It seemed to us imperative that the citizens of our democracy should know more about China,” Trudeau wrote in the foreword. Four decades later, China’s emergence as an economic and military heavyweight beckoned Trudeau’s journalist son Alexandre to retrace his father’s footsteps and add additional material to the book. The result is a thought-provoking new perspective on the Canadian classic that helped open China to the world.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. pp: 215. Introduction and afterword by Alexandre Trudeau. The first edition of this reprint of this classic travelogue. The book was originally published in 1968 (about eight years after their trip) when travel to a Communist country was considered a traitorous act in some western countries. By the time of publication, Trudeau was Canada's Prime Minister. The authors were attempting to provide some perspective on China, other than the fear mongering, red scare approach taken by our southern neighbour. This is the original text, with a thirty-three page intro by Pierre's son, and an illustration of the front cover of the first edition jacket. Seller Inventory # 008279
