This long-awaited new edition of Conrad Black's bestselling book on Maurice Duplessis and his times has been abridged and re-edited by the author. The original Render Unto Caesar: The Life and Legacy of Maurice Duplessis has long been admired as the ultimate work on the once-powerful Quebec politician. This new edition is a shorter, more accessible book. In the new introduction, Conrad Black places Duplessis in the context of our times.
