Two sections of images and the impressive base of sources speak to the extensive research underlying this work.- J.M. O'Leary (CHOICE Connect) [Philip Currie] has done a commendable job in exploring the relationship between Ireland and his adopted country. [Canada and Ireland] is an excellent scholarly work. - Tony McCulloch, University College London (The British Journal of Canadian Studies) This is a brilliant and much needed book. Currie is to be congratulated for focussing on the unrecognized and undiscussed issues in Canadian-Irish history and compiling such a balanced and sophisticated analysis. This will be a perfect text to accompany any Irish history course taught in Canada. - Francis M. Carroll, University of Manitoba (Canadian Journal of Irish Studies)
