My book ("Dawson's Plenty") is partially about a very bitter- if quiet - battle between the wartime allies 0f America and Britain and also within each of them.
Were the highly publicized Allied "war aims" actually sincere - or just for show ?
For a fleeting moment , the Allies moved into the light with a Pax Penicillia, before lapsing back to a Pax Urania with the same set of values that caused WWII in the first place.
Halifax's naval base has always been neutral ground culturally between Norfolk Virginia and Portsmouth UK .
Hopefully the view from Halifax will offer new insights as the "special relationship" faces its greatest ever challenge : human climate change.
Like Henry Dawson and George Laurence (my prisms into this story) , I am a graduate of Dalhousie University. I have also been a political organizer, an investigative journalist and owned a magazine and a recording studio.
