Samenvatting
In Delusion: The True Story of Victorian Superspy Henri Le Caron, journalist Peter Edwards reveals the early history of Canadian, British, and American espionage. With the 1868 assassination of Thomas D'Arcy McGee, one of the Fathers of Confederation, newly elected prime minister John A. Macdonald created Canada's first secret police. As head of this covert force, Gilbert McMicken hired Le Caron, who also reported to Robert Anderson of Scotland Yard. Delusion details the little-told historic role Canada played in the violent fight for Irish Independence. Individuals and motivations clash in this epic story of nationhood at the crossroads that still resonates today.
