Translated from Anthony Hlynka’s personal memoirs, this is the compelling story of the only sitting member of parliament of Ukrainian origin from 1940 to 1945. Representing the constituency of Vegreville, Alberta, for the Social Credit Party, Hlynka was a high-profile Member of Parliament who garnered much attention from the English-language press and was instrumental in raising awareness of the plight of displaced persons following the Second World War. This book is a unique historical document drawn from his memoirs, press reports from the era, and material provided by his wife, Stephanie Hlynka.
