![]() ![]() Petrou, the quiet one in the Maclean‘s Ottawa bureau, is only the latest author in the magazine’s storied ranks. But the evening was a smashing success, and Mike will be travelling for a while to promote the book, so keep an eye out for an event near you. One fellow was eager to impress upon the room the fact that some of the Canadian fighters had been Communists. The Q and A session was a little top-heavy with people who assumed, without having read Mike, that he must have missed some big point about the war. Mike read moving, often funny excerpts from his book and the audience listened intently. An extraordinary event, really: hundreds of people came out, leaving very few empty chairs in the new museum’s big amphitheatre. To the National War Museum, then, for the launch of Michael Petrou’s Renegades: Canadians in the Spanish Civil War. ![]()
