“The book has all the hallmarks of vintage Beck: the revealing detail gleaned from a lifetime of research in the archives of his native province; the broad comprehension of social cleavages that shape the province's political institutions; the loving attention devoted to actors on the political stage, especially Joseph Howe and William Fielding; and the emphasis on the conservative nature of political culture in Nova Scotia.”
Margaret Conrad — Canadian Book Review Annual

This is the first of a two-volume set named Politics of Nova Scotia. It provides a definitive overview of Nova Scotia's rich political history. The book is straightforward, extraordinarily comprehensive, and yet easy and enjoyable to read. Here is the Other Volume.
