[t]his a pleasure to read and I would not hesitate to recommend it as a good introduction to Canada's history.
—British Journal of Canadian Studies
Winter 2002
[G]oes a considerable distance toward solving the textbook dilemma of U.S. Canadianists. See's book is a well-written, remarkably comprehensive, two hundred-page survey of Canada's history, crafted form an extensive reading of the most up-to-date secondary literature....
The History of Canada
will no doubt become and excellent classroom tool....[S]tudents will buy and perhaps even read it, because their teachers should assign it to them as a required text....Scott See has done a great service for those of us who earn our living teaching Americans about Canada.
—The American Review of Canandian Studies
November 2001
...welcome addition in high schools with strong world history courses as additional help for research paper assignments. Recommended.
—Blanche Woolls & David Loertscher (GaleGroup.com)
January 2002
The book can be summed up as factual, complete and correct....contains useful lists of people and dates, and it is well indexed. The bibliographic essay is concise. The book would fit well into a general collection of Canadian history.
—Canadian Library Association/Feliciter

This title is recommended for school and college libraries.

Description:
This beautifully written narrative history paints a magnificent picture of the second largest nation on earth. Canada, with its overarching geography of over one million bodies of water, endless prairies, frozen reaches of the north, and awe-inspiring mountain ranges, holds many stunning lands. Often portrayed by the American media as but a pale reflection of the United States, Canada, as displayed here, has a truly complex and intricate image. The political struggles of the past and present and the clash over issues of ethnicity, race, religion, language, and culture are just some of the details that mark this country's unmatched uniqueness. From the earliest contact between Amerindians and Europeans to the current burden of regional, cultural, and ethnic diversity that characterizes Canada in the early 21st century, this history draws the reader into the drama that is Canada.
Since its earliest settlement by the French and the British and its struggle as an arena between those contesting empires, Canada has been a center for disagreement and debate. This work examines the economic, political, and ethnic issues of this century, including Canada's participation in world affairs. Short biographies of notable people in Canadian history, a list of all the Prime Ministers in Canada, a timeline of important events, and a bibliographic essay of recommended books and websites add reference value to this engagingly written history.
