• [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

• 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.
