Description

A fully up to date edition of the Canadian classic.

Most of us know bits and pieces of our history but want to be more sure of how it all fits together. The trick is to find a history that may be so absorbing it would be best to read it from starting to end. With this expanded, seventh edition of A Short History of Canada, readers need look no further.
     Desmond Morton, one of Canada’s most highly respected historians, is keenly conscious about the ways in which our past informs the present, and in one compact and engrossing volume, he pulls off the remarkable feat of bringing it all together — from the First Nations before the arrival of the Europeans, to Confederation, to Stephen Harper’s prime ministership, to Justin Trudeau’s victory in the 2015 election. His acute observations at the Diefenbaker era, the effects of the post-war influx of immigrants, the Trudeau years and the constitutional crisis, the Quebec referendum, the upward push of the Canadian Alliance, and Canada under Harper’s governance, all provide an invaluable background to understanding the way Canada works nowadays and its direction in years yet to come.
