Reviews
A Concise History of Canada by Margaret Conrad is a comprehensive and well-written overview of Canada's history. However, the later chapters focusing on the first decades of the 21st century seem to be influenced by the author's social and political biases, which affects the book's credibility. It's often said that history benefits from the perspective of time, and this book shows why that may be true.
My favourite Canadian History text.
