Sweeping, ambitious, and revelatory, this is the second volume in a major history of our country by one of our most respected thinkers and historians–a book every Canadian should own.From the acclaimed biographer and historian Conrad Black comes the definitive history of Canada–a masterful, groundbreaking account of the people and events that shaped a nation. The second of three volumes, spanning from the year 1867-1949, this compelling history challenges our perception of our history and Canada’s role in the world, taking on sweeping themes and vividly recounting the story of Canada’s development from colony to dominion to country.
