After a surprising conversation with young Canadians who didn't recognize the name Lester B. Pearson - Nobel Peace Prize winner and Canada's fourteenth prime minister, author J.D.M. Stewart set out to bring the country's history to a new generation. The result is Canada's Prime Ministers, a lively, accessible chronicle of Canada's leaders, from Sir John A. Macdonald in 1867 to Mark Carney in 2025. With engaging prose and fresh insights, Stewart captures the defining moments of each prime minister's time in office, revealing how they managed relationships with Indigenous peoples, the environment, American presidents, and international powers. He also explores how their reputations have evolved - who has been forgotten, who remains controversial, and who has become a lasting part of Canada's cultural fabric. Canada's Prime Ministers is a necessary and important book, intended both for newcomers to Canadian history and those who have loved it for a long time.

"His life changed that of his nation." John English illuminates the years of Lester Pearson's greatest eminence, and vividly explores his life and times. His period as prime minister was to prove one of the most decisive in our history, and his policies helped shape Canada’s foremost international statesman. The Lester Pearson who emerges from the account of these momentous years—from the Korean War, through the tumultuous sixties to his death in 1972—is a complex, paradoxical figure. A man uneasy with ambition, who shunned the flamboyance of his arch-rival Diefenbaker, Pearson nevertheless competed for the most glittering prize in Canadian political life. World recognition brought him the Nobel Peace Prize, yet in his battle to maintain independence for his country he deliberately incurred the wrath of its powerful traditional allies, particularly Lyndon Johnson whom he heartily disliked. He was oddly unprepared personally to take on Canada’s highest political office, and led the Liberal Party to the worst defeat in its history, yet went on to sponsor astonishing, far-reaching changes in Canadian society—bilingualism, biculturalism, medicare, modern Canadian nationalism, and co-operative federalism--all innovations of the Pearson years. And while he has been called our greatest prime minister, other see him as the leader of a government that created many of Canada’s discontents, and crises and scandals that swirled about him. Most paradoxically of all perhaps, this unassuming man became a national icon, winning a lasting place in the hearts and minds of a generation of Canadians. In this second volume of his award-winning biography, John English has had remarkable access to Pearson’s personal and political papers, drawing on the letters and diaries and private papers of a host of his contemporaries, and on personal interviews with his family and friends, rivals and foes alike. The result is a compellingly readable—a richly detailed portrait of Canada and of a remarkable Canadian whose impact was immense.

In examining the early United Nations disputes over South African racial and expansionist policies between 1946 and 1952, this book explores how South Africa found itself out of step with the post-war international environment and had become a pariah state as well as an embarrassment to its Commonwealth partners even before apartheid was formally discussed at the world organisation. Focusing on international concerns around two specific disputes at the UN; the treatment of Indians in South Africa, and Pretoria's attempts to annex the territory of South West Africa (Namibia), Barnes highlights how divisive these issues became for the Commonwealth of Nations. The recently independent Asian 'new' members, especially India, led the charge in criticizing these policies. But for the 'old' White members, from whom South Africa expected support and who initially went the furthest in supporting their partner, the situation was more problematic. These governments increasingly felt uncomfortable openly endorsing South Africa's policies, especially after the election of the National Party in 1948 and the implementation of its apartheid programme in the face of mounting international criticism. Utilizing a vast range of official records from the Commonwealth countries involved and the UN, The South African Disputes before Apartheid shows how these disputes over the future of South Africa's race relations and its territorial claims caused the deepest rifts within the Commonwealth during the early postwar period. These issues also set the scene for ever more heated debate on apartheid at the UN after 1952 and Pretoria's withdrawal from the Commonwealth in 1961.

Canada is usually seen in the United States as cold, worthy, safe and rather dull, and the United States is seen in Canada as a land of unparalleled opportunity and unparalleled failure, a country of heights and abysses. Exceptional Americans argues that Canadians and Americans resemble each other more than either would care to admit.

"... Christopher Kilford sets out to carefully examine how Canada became involved with the provision of military equipment, advice and training to armed forces throughout the developing world after 1945 ... impact that military assistance had in several 19th century countries and why later, in the 1960s, militaries were often viewed as the best means to encourage wider societal modernization while also preventing the spread of communism. This latter issue was a key reason why Ottawa found itself authorizing military assistance missions in the post-war period, until such efforts, at the urging of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, effectively dried up in the early 1970s."--from back cover.
