Reviews

"... one of the best of Canadian political biographies, an indispensable tool for understanding the age of Confederation, and far from the hagiography that Canadian scholars so often produce."

Canadian Literature

"This biography has served Canadians superbly for a generation and nothing has superseded it. Dundurn Press deserves credit for making Brown of the Globe available again."

CBRA

"The writing is rich and vivid, the chewy sentences an utter delight; the book is as solid as Brown himself."
