1867: How the Fathers Made a Deal
- Used Book in Good Condition
â€œIn the 1860s, western alienation began at Yonge Street, and George Brown was the Preston Manning of the day.â€ So begins Christopher Mooreâ€™s fascinating 1990s look at the messy, dramatic, crisis-ridden process that brought Canada into being â€“ and at the politicians, no more lovable or united than our own, who, against all odds, managed to forge a deal that worked.

From the first chapter, he turns a fresh, perceptive, and lucid eye on the people, the issues, and the political theories of Confederation â€“ from John A. Macdonaldâ€™s canny handling of leadership to the invention of federalism and the Senate, from the Quebec question to the influence of political philosophers Edmund Burke and Walter Bagehot.

This is a book for all Canadians who love their country â€“ and fear for it after the failure of the constitution-making of the 1990s. Here is a clear, entertaining reintroduction to the ideas and processes that forged the nation.
