These Be Your Gods

"These Be Your Gods" offers a compelling and insightful window into the political landscape of Canada during the vibrant and transformative decade of the 1920s. Through a series of sharp, analytical biographical sketches, Leslie Roberts examines the personalities, ideologies, and motivations of the men who shaped the nation's destiny following the First World War. From the tactical maneuvers of William Lyon Mackenzie King to the steadfast leadership of Arthur Meighen, Roberts provides a contemporary perspective on the figures who dominated the Canadian Parliament and public discourse.

Combining journalistic flair with astute political observation, the work transcends mere biography to provide a nuanced portrait of a nation finding its footing in the early 20th century. Roberts explores the rivalries, the shifting alliances, and the foundational debates that defined Canadian federalism and social policy during this era. This collection serves as an essential primary resource for readers interested in Canadian history, political science, and the art of character study, preserving the atmosphere of an age when the country's modern identity was being forged on the floors of the House of Commons.
