2026 Optional Extra‘P.S. Burn after Reading’: The Kellock-Taschereau Commission and Soviet Espionage in Canada
2026 
Tom Mitchell and Reinhard Kramer ‘P.S. Burn after Reading’: The Kellock-Taschereau Commission and Soviet Espionage in Canada, published with the University of Toronto Press.
In September 1945, Soviet cipher clerk Igor Gouzenko defected to Canada, and revealed that Canadians were spying on their own country. Canada used the Kellock-Taschereau Commission – sometimes appropriately, sometimes inappropriately – to thwart these homegrown agents and defend Canada’s national security. Others have written about the Gouzenko affair, but this deeply-researched account brings forward new and crucial details about the legal proceedings.
