Description
In this new, redesigned, highly readable trade paperback format, Nimbus presents Thomas Raddall's fascinating historical portrait of Halifax. The story begins with the city's first inhabitants, the Mi'kmaq, and follows Halifax through time, from the earliest settlers to prohibition and the wartime boom to life in the later half of the twentieth century. It focuses on the city's historic military role and the effects of its strategic position, chronicling colourful characters, heroes and scoundrels, and the adventure and intrigue of their exploits.
One of Canada's most popular novelists, Thomas H. Raddall won the Governor General's Award three times. He is the author of sixteen books, including His Majesty's Yankees and The Nymph and the Lamp.
