Peter Waite is a professor emeritus in the Department of History at Dalhousie University.
"This is certainly the most pleasant way to learn history. The people and events of past times have a liveliness and immediacy equal to those of the present day. It is, of course, history without the balanced view which time alone can give, but it's history which you'll read as easily as a gossip column -- and remember." Fredericton Daily Gleaner "[Cet ouvrage] me semble le meilleur et le plus complet qu'on ait jamaica consacré à ce sujet qui est évidemment un des plus importants de notre historire." Jean-Charles Bonenfant, Canadian Historical Review"An astonishingly lively, informative and even funny book -- a book which will give you a very different picture of the hard-drinking, hard-bargaining Fathers of Confederation than the one you got in school or from the famous Notman photograph." Canadian Reader "It is an absorbing account, and tells us much that we need to know about this nation." John Saywell, on "Critically Speaking"
