An insightful history of the fractious early relationship between Pierre Elliott Trudeau and Alberta.

Trudeau appeared to enjoy the encounter. He stood his ground while escaping projectiles, including a tomato...In this insightful and lively history, Liberal insider Darryl Raymaker recalls the attempt to broker "a marriage from hell" between the federal Liberal Party and Alberta's Social Credit government in the late 1960s. Raymaker uses his deep connections and backroom knowledge to trace the tangled political relationships that developed when charismatic statesman Pierre Trudeau confronted the forces of oil and agriculture in Canada's west. Part memoir, part chronicle, Trudeau's Tango provides a window into Canadian history, politics, economics and the zeitgeist of the late 1960s.

Darryl Raymaker was born, raised and educated in Alberta and practiced law in Calgary for more than 50 years. His involvement in the Library party began in 1963. He ran as a Liberal candidate four times and has served on the National Executive of the Liberal Party of Canada. He lives in Calgary.
