The title suggests it's about Canada's leaders but it's actually a great history read. Actually, it's by far the best history book I've read about Canada. Other Canadian history books are so hard to get into that I lose interest but this one I was able to read because it didn't feel like a boring history lecture.

An interesting way to posit Canada's leaders--certainly a provocative title to catch the eye. Yet it kept getting buried in my "currently reading" pile. I made it well into the twentieth century history however, and the "Canadians are just so nice" assumption got a little more tarnished along the way.

This book is fabulous. I read it aloud with my extended family at the cottage one summer. It started many a late night conversation on the porch!

I read this ages ago and it was what made me realize that Canadian history can be just as enjoyable as any other. This is a very Canadian look at Canadian history and anyone who thinks our history is boring clearly hasn't read it.
