Description

"In this overview, historian H.V. Nelles describes Canada's story as one of continuous transformation. From the First Nations that had to adapt first to a challenging physical environment and then to French and British invaders who in the course of their competition for control established colonies across a vast continent; through the integration of those colonies into a national federation; and down to the volatile new political order that has emerged in the last sixty years, Nelles describes a dynamic country that is constantly changing, adjusting, and redefining itself." "This history is an indispensable introduction to the nation that Canada is today."--BOOK JACKET.
