Valuable book 
I purchased this book by a recommendation from my friend. after reading this book.....its amazing, smooth & easy. If you start to read the first pages of this book, you will not stop till you end it.

A very decent book for those who know next to nothing about Canadian History. 
For a novice, or a person, who is interested in History, this book will be a must-have. It narrates all Canadian history (almost up to present days) in a humorous easy-going way. However, there is one consequence to reading this book - most likely you will need some visuals (which the book lacks entirely - for a good reason), which will prompt you to use more serious works on Canadian History.
Summarizing: this book is very nice for an overview, for ppl, who don't want to just touch on the subject... more info

This guys' a really good writer (like he needs my approval)!
I can't believe a history book is so much fun to read. As a Canadian who has been living in the US for 45 years I thought I should try to be a little more literate about my native history. I felt he really cut through the BS and gave a fair look at Native, French and English sides of the story. It's actually a page turner, who would have though?

An Excellent Overview of Canadian History
I've been exploring Canadian history quite a bit over the past few years, starting with picking up "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Canadian History" by Ann Douglas and the CBC's "Canada: A People's Hisotry." I found Will Ferguson's "Canadian History for Dummies" to be a humorous, fact filled, and very current overview of Canadian history (I bought it six months after it came out). I find it to be a very welcome addition to my book collection.
