In January 1992 the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation ( cbs ) broadcast "The valour and the horror", a three-part television series on Canada’s role in World War II. It sparked a major controversy among viewers, war veterans, and historians. Brian and Terence McKenna of Galafilm, the authors-producers of the series, were accused of distorting historical facts, maligning individuals such as commanders Arthur Harris and Guy Simonds, presenting a biased account of events, and overstepping the line between journalism and drama. "The valour and the horror revisited" brings together source doc

Racial privilege shapes the lives of white Americans in every facet of life, from employment and education to housing and criminal justice. Using stories from his own life, Tim Wise shows that racism not only burdens people of color, but also benefits those who are "white like him" — whether or not they’re actively racist. Using stories instead of stale statistics, Wise weaves a compelling narrative that assesses the magnitude of racial privilege and is at once readable and scholarly, analytical yet accessible.
