The Middle Power Project

Andrew S. Thompson, Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI):
Chapnick's is a timely book ... [this] book offers an important critique of Canada's early contributions to the founding of the United Nations.

David Malone:
This book provokes thought. The historical research is tremendously impressive. Having perpetrated a number of books on the UN, I am ashamed of how little I knew about Canada's early role therein. I am grateful to Adam Chapnick for teaching me how, why and where Canadian influence over the UN Charter can be discerned.

John Hilliker, editor of Canada’s Department of External Affairs:
This book is a valuable corrective to popular misconceptions of Canada’s contribution to the creation of the UN and its subsequent relationship with the organization. Chapnick’s extensive use of foreign records places the story in a broader context that is illuminating.

Tom Keating, author of Canada and World Order, 2nd edition:
A fresh and critically important alternative to much of the literature on Canadian foreign policy and diplomatic history during this period -- It will become an essential source for understanding Canada’s involvement in developing the United Nations organization.
