Dr. Robert Bothwell

Robert Bothwell of the History Department of the University of Toronto is one of the major figures in the writing of Canadian History. A formidable researcher, a master of the telling phrase, Bothwell's books on Lester Pearson and C.D. Howe, on Canada 1900-45 and 1945 to the present, and on Atomic Energy of Canada and Eldorado Nuclear have established his reputation. His expertise extends from business history to foreign policy and from Ontario provincial history to biography, but everything he writes is marked by the same high quality of prose and research.
