What they’re saying about some of the books I’ve edited
Canada's Odyssey: A Country Based on Incomplete Conquests,
by Peter H. Russell (University of Toronto Press, 2017)
"[A] very enjoyable and engaging read. In its writing style, the book manages to walk a line somewhere between academic and popular history....[A]nyone looking for some way to mark Canada's sesquicentennial would do well to read this book"

“Peter Russell ...has given us the benefit of a lifetime's scholarship and engagement in this brilliant book. It is thoughtful, incisively written, and as accessible an account as one will find about our country's political and legal history. Many books are called 'indispensible'; this one certainly rates that description”
