Opis

• This is the second book in Laxer's North American trilogy.
• James Laxer is an award-winning author of more than twenty-five books, including the #1 national bestseller Tecumseh and Brock: The War of 1812
• Highly readable with accessible language.
• This is one of the few books that talks about key North American history and how it has shaped the continent and the global order even into the present day
• Focusing on three leaders -- Jefferson Davis, Abraham Lincoln, and John A. Macdonald -- the book showcases how similar these men are in circumstance and how different their paths are in attempting (and in two cases succeeding) to create a nation-state.
• There is cross-border appeal for this title as it talks about the Northern and Southern States, as well as Canada.
