Sinopse

A third-generation Canadian, John Neville left Ottawa, where he and his parents had been born and always lived, to begin his studies at Harvard Law School in 1929. He had excelled academically and athletically at the University of Ottawa from where he graduated with three degrees at the age of 20. Before him lay not only academic challenges, but also financial ones as he tried to earn his place in a world which would be devastated by the Great Depression and World War II. He could not have anticipated that he would meet a French war-widow to whom he would be married for a relatively short time and with whom he would have a son. The bitter divorce prompted a campaign of slander against him that would threaten his career and his relationship with his only child. He deserved better treatment. This book, written by his son, attempts to clear his name 'For the Record' and to honor this exceptional man and the life he lived.
