Reviews for The Great Peace of Montreal of 1701: French-Native Diplomacy in the Seventeenth Century
"Gilles Havard's book is a first rate study of the factors that led to the Montreal Peace of 1701, and of the agreement itself. In fact, it is the best I have ever read and its availability in English is long-overdue." Olive Dickason, author of Canada's First Nations: A History of Founding Peoples from Earliest Times.
