Reading this illuminating history [was] a tonic… . John Ibbitson has gathered thirty essays by dozens of Globe alumni, who chronicle in fascinating detail the key events in Canada’s history where the paper played an important role… . There are gripping pieces [here]… . This is a vivid story of a bygone era, when a single publication with a large and broad readership could still serve a crucial role in uniting vastly different parts of a huge and important country… . A Nation’s Paper is well-stocked with delicious anecdotes… . Ultimately, A Nation’s Paper shows how the Globe and Canadians have grown up, almost in lockstep, helping to build a strong and fascinating country together.” —Literary Review of Canada
