Canada in the European Age, 1453-1919

R.T. Naylor is professor, economics, McGill University, and the author of many books, including Economic Warfare: Sanctions, Embargo Busting, and Their Human Cost, and Bankers, Bagmen, and Bandits: Business and Politics in the Age of Greed.

"An author who can visualize the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway from Winnipeg to Vancouver in 1880-82 as an act of British imperialism linking India to Britain must be praised for raising Canadian history to new levels of perception." Canadian Book Review Annual "An outstanding work of synthesis that merits a wide readership among all those interested in a cogent challenge to the liberal view of Canadian history." British Journal of Canadian Studies "Refreshingly sardonic and elegantly sarcastic, Naylor writes with wit and unusual antagonism to the powerful." American Historical Review
