The Beginning of Canada,
By Mj Perry "suas leis leabhrach" (Gormley, Ontario) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: John A: The Man Who Made Us (Paperback)
I just finished this book. Although not a great academic read, there are several things to recommend it.1. It's interesting for anyone who likes history, biographies or politics, and is very well researched. 2. It portrays Macdonald as very human. Not only does it point out his weaknesses (all too well known and discussed) but points out the reasons for his successes and offers reasons that he suffered. 3. It reminds me of Canadian history that I had forgotten and it helps explain why some of the current political events feel like they're going against the grain. 4. It is so clearly written that it can be put down for a while if work or life gets in the way, and then picked up again when time allows, and continued without too much difficulty. Canada was unique and continues to be unique. It is sometimes a good thing to be remind of how good it is.
