It takes a brave person to write a history of Canada in 109 small pages of text but Donald Wright has made a very good stab at it ... I would happily recommend this thoughtful and elegantly-written survey to anyone looking for a very short history of Canada. * Phillip Buckner, British Journal of Canadian Studies * I very much enjoyed reading this book. I wholeheartedly recommend it to readers, both expert and general, although it will probably be more useful for the latter. If you have ever been fascinated to learn more about this vast country of the north then this book will be a wonderful introduction. * Jatinder Mann, Journal of Australian, Canadian, and Aotearoa New Zealand Studies *
