David Webster, associate professor of history, Bishop’s University:
Reassessing the Rogue Tory is a fascinating collection. It’s a pleasure to read, and makes a significant contribution to the history of Canadian foreign relations.

Kim Richard Nossal, professor in the Department of Political Studies and director of the Centre for International and Defence Policy, Queen’s University:
An excellent re-examination of foreign and defence policy under Prime Minister John G. Diefenbaker. While it is often assumed that Canadian foreign policy from 1957 to 1963 was mainly driven by Diefenbaker’s idiosyncrasies, this fine collection of essays by leading scholars shows the broader forces at work that were shaping Canada’s place in the world during this era.
