Reviews

"Adams combines his expertise in Manitoba's political system with a thorough political history and rich quantitative data to create one of the most insightful and authoritative works on Manitoba's party stem available...From scandals, to policy decisions, to humourous tales, Adams relies on both primary and secondary documents to tell a clear, detailed history of each party, explaining how internal decisions have affected both party and province...slic[ing] through nearly 150 years of history to build a complete and detailed examination that is beneficial to readers."--Zachary Spicer, Political Science, University of Western Ontario "American Review of Canadian Studies"

"In recent decades, provincial politics have garnered increased attention as the academic community has grown and specialized studies have proliferated...This book is a useful workmanlike contribution to the small but growing bookshelf devoted to Manitoba politics."--Nelson Wiseman "University of Toronto Quarterly, Winter 2010"
