"a comprehensive and engaging overview of Canadian history that is readable and highly informative. mr. bumsted not only gives the facts, he gives the background, the tone and the personality of the times, with sidebar original sources and photography. the last section is a little confused, but this is to be expected (and mr. bumsted even acknowledges it) as the recent history is extremely difficult to put into the same perspective as that which happened a century ago.
all in all i highly recommend this to anyone looking for a true understanding of canada - my only regret is that i didn't read this years ago.
a wonkish footnote - a couple of annoying mistakes that a copyeditor should have caught - it's "Rudyard" not "Rudolph" Kipling, and the hockey team in Canada is the Oilers, not the Edmonton Eskimos (that's the CFL football team) to name only two, along with a plethora of mid-sentence hyphenations. Hopefully a more recent edition caught these, as they tend to detract from the authority of the entire work."
