HOW DID CANADA SURVIVE

(5 Sterne)

Parkman thoroughly analyzes the successes and failures of the historical period in question. One wonders how any colony could prosper under such ruinous and changeable policies. If the reader decides to quit the book before the end, let me urge him to at least read the final chapter. This fourteen minute work is a masterpiece of political analogy, showing the prospects for certain groups based squarely on their political experience. This easily explains the mis-guided and seldom successful policy of the US exportation of so-called democracy to third world and/or developing nations. His ending conclusion that the British conquest was the best thing to happen to Canada may rankle the Gallican spirit, but it is certainly true!

(5 Sterne)

Parkman was an excellent writer and the reader is a pleasure to the listener.
