Trade Review"John Hilliker, Mary Halloran, and Greg Donaghy have produced the definitive institutional history of the Department of External Affairs during the Trudeau era. Well written and impressively researched, it will be cited by scholars for years to come." -- Adam Chapnick, Department of Defence Studies, Royal Military College of Canada "Canada's Department of External Affairs is a major contribution to historical research. The authors' scholarship is sound, the research exhaustive, and the range of sources utilized is extremely impressive. The book maintains the high quality of thoroughness of the first two volumes in the series and is a first rate contribution to our understanding of the Department of External Affairs, the Trudeau years more generally, and the evolution of Canada's foreign policy." -- David MacKenzie, Department of History, Ryerson University
