Reviews

[James Booknight · Rating 4 out of 5]

Politicking fantasy, military epic, heart-wrenching tragedy. Stanley captures all the nuances of Riel and 19th century Canada in minute detail that somehow doesn't ruin an emotionally compelling narrative.

[Joseph · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was the most enjoyable Canadian political biography I've every read - for its careful scholarship, good style, and Riel's own amazing life.
