'There is much to like about this work. It is a solid piece of academic research. It reaches beyond mere facts of how the industry evolved undermanaged trade...and how the Auto Pact paved the way for the 1989 Free Trade agreement.' -- Wayne Lewchuk 'This is a well-researched book, with substantial archival research having been conducted in Canada and United States... There is plenty to be learned by political scientists interested in international relations, public policy, and political economy (both nationally and internationally).' -- Duane Bratt 'Deeply researched and lucidly argued by a historian in command of his field, Autonomous State is a valuable addition to automotive history and a distinguished contribution to policy history.' -- Tom McCarthy
