200065829University of Toronto Press Scholarly Publishing Division. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2000. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 0802044131 . 6.31 X 1.61 X 9.24 inches; 456 pages; Alfred Valdmanis is best known in Canada for his infamous role in Premier Joey Smallwood's scheme to industrialize Newfoundland. A Latvian immigrant he was appointed Director General of Economic Development in 1950 with the understanding that through his connections to Europe he could entice German and Baltic industrialists to the isolated rural island. His influence was brought to an abrupt end when in 1954 he was charged with defrauding the government. The media latching on to his murky past and his possible affiliation with war criminals made him the scapegoat of Newfoundland's problems painting him as part comedian part sinister villain. This was not the first time his name was connected with controversial issues. Valdmanis's wily political manoeuvring is more the stuff of fiction than history. Between 1938 at age 29 and his ironic downfall in the safe haven of Canada he was a finance minister of pre-war Latvia a government official during the Soviet invasion a shrewd collaborator under the Nazi occupation then a friend to the Allies a spokesman for Latvian POW and displaced persons and an adviser to the government of Canada. In this first serious biography of Alfred Valdamis historian Gerhard Bassler casts the story of this political manipulator and chameleon in new terms: the often tragic consequences of the will to survive. .

Soft cover. 1st Edition. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. pictorial paper195 pages illustratedThis is a unique book about an old man who was able to successfully adopt a novel conditioning and nutrition plan for young Standardbred race horses where others who subsequently tried would fail. Melding human conditioning techniques with horse sense enabled him to dominate the racing scene against long odds not the least of which were: old age poor track conditions failing eyesight amateur driver and inexperienced ferrier. Knowledge that he imparted enabled the author to resurrect young horses rejected from the better stables in South Western Ontario and it is a testament to this old man's methods that over a nine year period not one horse claimed from this stable went on to greater achievement.Very Scarce.
