Lester Bowles Pearson was a Canadian scholar, statesman, soldier, and diplomat, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957 for organizing the United Nations Emergency Force to resolve the Suez Canal Crisis.

Career

Douglas LePan was a special assistant to Pearson in the late 1940s.[citation needed]

Pearson was the 14th Prime Minister of Canada from 1963 to 1968, after a US-led regime change, as the head of two back-to-back Liberal minority governments following elections in 1963 and 1965.

To become Prime Minster, Canada’s only recipient of a Nobel Peace Prize repudiated his longstanding opposition to nuclear weapons for political profit during the 1963 election/regime change. The electoral advantages of the move “certainly did not deter me,” Pearson later said with a disarming smile and considerable understatement.[1]

Pearson, an Oxford Massey Scholar and former assistant in London to Vincent Massey became the vehicle Gordon selected to oversee the transformation of the Liberal Party and the purging of pro-development Liberals who would resist the isolationist monetary policies of Gordon. One of those who would suffer the purge was Henry Erskine Kidd, General Secretary for the Liberal Party who referred to the process led by Gordon as “a palace revolution”."[2]
