Rise to Greatness by Conrad Black Spanning 874 to 2014, this masterful history challenges our perception of our history and Canada's role in the world. From Champlain to Carleton; Baldwin and Lafontaine to MacDonald, Laurier, and King; Canada's role in peace and war to Quebec's quest for autonomy; Black takes on sweeping themes and vividly recounts the story of Canada's development from colony to dominion to country. Brilliantly conceived, this major new re-examination of our country's history is a riveting tour de force.
The Last Hockey Game by Bruce McDougall On May 2, 1967, Montreal and Toronto faced each other in a battle for hockey supremacy. This was only the fifth time the teams had ever played each other in the Stanley Cup finals. But this wasn’t simply a game. That night, the Leafs would win the Cup. The next season, the National Hockey League would expand to twelve teams. Players would form an association to begin collective bargaining. Hockey would become big business. The NHL of the “Original Six” would be a thing of the past.
Between Gods by Alison Pick Alison Pick was born in the 1970s and raised in a supportive, loving family. As a teenager, she made a discovery that instantly changed her understanding of her family, and her vision for her own life, forever. She learned that her Pick grandparents, who had escaped from the Czech Republic during WWII, were Jewish--and that most of this side of the family had died in concentration camps. In this raw yet sublime memoir, Alison recounts her struggle with the meaning of her faith, her journey to convert to Judaism, her battle with depression, and her path towards facing and accepting the past and embracing the future--including starting a new family of her own.

David Von Drehle - Rise to Geatness: Abraham Lincoln and America's Most Perilous Year David Von Drehle's Rise to Greatness: Abraham Lincoln and America's Most Perilous Year (Henry Holt & Co.) is the electrifying story of Abraham Lincoln's rise to greatness during the most perilous year in our nation's history. As 1862 dawned, the American republic was at death's door. The federal government appeared overwhelmed, the U.S. Treasury was broke, and the Union's top general was gravely ill. The Confederacy had a clear view of victory, and the survival of the country depended on the judgment, cunning, and resilience of the unschooled frontier lawyer who had recently been elected president. With Rise to Greatness, Von Drehle has created both a deeply human portrait of America's greatest president and a dramatic narrative about our most fateful year. (oregonobsessionz)… (més)
