Lot #127: 1985 Canadian History Book -- "Justice Delayed: Nazi War Criminals in Canada" by David Matas (First Edition!)

First Edition. Hardcover. Dustjacket. Toronto: Summerhill Press, 1987. 275 pp. "Justice Delayed: Nazi War Criminals in Canada" is a seminal work of investigative non-fiction and legal analysis co-authored by human rights lawyer David Matas and Susan Charendoff, published in 1987 by Summerhill Press. A meticulous indictment of Canada’s post-war immigration policies, documenting how thousands of Nazi collaborators and war criminals from across Europe were able to enter the country and live in anonymity for decades. Matas, a renowned advocate for international justice, describes the bureaucratic indifference and political paralysis that allowed these individuals to evade prosecution, while also providing a detailed history of the Deschênes Commission—the 1985 royal commission established to investigate the presence of war criminals in Canada. As a foundational text in Canadian legal and human rights history, a 1987 Summerhill Press first printing can reach 65 to 95 for collectors of Canadian political history and Holocaust studies.
