Coming to power on a surge of optimistic nationalism in 1957, the \"Rogue Tory\" had stirred up more controversy than any previous prime minister by the time he was defeated in 1963. This was nowhere more apparent than in his handling of international affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book reassesses foreign policy in the Diefenbaker era to determine whether its failures can be mainly attributed to the prime minister's personality traits, particularly his indecisiveness, or to broader shifts in world affairs. Written by leading scholars who mine new sources of archival research, the chapters examine the full range of international issues that confronted Diefenbaker and his ministers and probe the factors that led to success or failure, decision or indecision, on specific issues. Rather than dismissing Diefenbaker as a \"Rogue Tory\" on the world stage, this fascinating reconsideration of the Diefenbaker years challenges readers to push beyond the conventional and reassess his record with fresh eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \/\u003cem\u003e Janice Cavell\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1: The Commonwealth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 A New Vision for the Commonwealth: Diefenbaker's Commonwealth Tour of 1958 \/ \u003cem\u003eFrancine McKenzie\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Different Leader, Different Paths: Diefenbaker and the British, 1957–63 \/ \u003cem\u003eNorman Hillmer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 2: Canadian-American Relations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 The Spirit of '56: The Suez Crisis, Anti-Americanism, and Diefenbaker's 1957 and 1958 Election Victories \/ \u003cem\u003eJanice Cavell\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 When the Chips Are Down: Eisenhower, Diefenbaker, and the Lebanon Crisis, 1958 \/ \u003cem\u003eGreg Donaghy\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 The Problem Child: Diefenbaker and Canada in the Language of the Kennedy Administration \/ \u003cem\u003eStephen Azzi\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 3: Nuclear Weapons\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 The Defence Dilemma, 1957–63: Reconsidering the Strategic, Technological, and Operational Contexts \/ \u003cem\u003eIsabel Campbell\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 \"I Would Rather Be Right\": Diefenbaker and Canadian Disarmament Movements \/ \u003cem\u003eNicole Marion\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 4: The Developing World\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 A Limited Engagement: Diefenbaker, Canada, and Latin America's Cold War, 1957–63 \/ \u003cem\u003eAsa McKercher\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9 The Diefenbaker Government and Foreign Policy in Africa \/ \u003cem\u003eKevin A.
