• “Rise to Greatness traces the political and economic history of Canada over the last four centuries. . . . Black contemplates his home and native land with unabashed pride.” –Montreal Gazette
• “. . . [B]owls the reader along like an adventure story. . . . This book never bores. . . . [T]he élan of a writer at the top of his game, covering his subject with a staggering degree or erudition. . . . The narrative positively sparkles with ironic witticisms and aperçus that make this book as much a work of literature as of history.” – Andrew Roberts, National Post
