Unquiet Diplomacy

On April 17, 2001, at the Citadel in Quebec City, Paul Cellucci presented his credentials as the 20th United States Ambassador to Canada to then-Governor General Adrienne Clarkson. It would prove to be a historical period that came to define a colder realignment in Canada-U.S. relations. Canada and the United States would find themselves in the months and years after 9/11 often confronting each other over efforts to combat terrorism, calls for increased military budgets and support for U.S. missile defense systems, and continued rancor over the long simmering soft-wood lumber dispute. At the center of all the controversies was Paul Cellucci.
In this extraordinary and broad-ranging book, Paul Cellucci deals with all the issues that unite and divide Canadians and Americans in his outspoken and candid style that became his signature as ambassador.
