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in raising awareness of the plight of displaced persons following the Second World War.This book is a unique historical document drawn from his memoirs, press reports from the era, and material provided by Stephanie Hlynka, his widow.
