This series includes transcripts of interviews for Stursberg's two books on Prime Minister Lester Pearson: "Lester Pearson and the Dream of Unity" (Toronto: Doubleday, 1978) and "Lester Pearson and the American Dilemma" (Toronto: Doubleday, 1980). The first book dealt with domestic policy, the second, international affairs. The interview subjects include prominent political figures of the Pearson era such as Walter Gordon, Paul Martin, Jack Pickersgill, Jean Chrétien, John Turner, Robert Stanfield, John Robarts, Tommy Douglas, and David Lewis, among others. There are also interviews with leading Canadian and American diplomats of the period such as Escott Reid, Charles Ritchie, Chester Ronning, Dean Rusk, Henry Cabot Lodge, and Averell Harriman.
