Twenty-first Century Irvings takes a careful look at both the family foundations upon which the Irving business empire was built and the dozen or more individuals who, in the twenty-first century, constitute the future of this important family. A business story,a family story, and a Maritime story, this is a book for anyone interested in or affected by the Irving empire.

"a glimpse of who the Irvings are and what they do...a picture that might surprise a great many readers who have preconceived notions but little actual knowledge about the family's ideas and principles." -Telegraph Journal
"If you are interested in knowing who the Irvings are and what makes them tick, then you should find some of the answers here...The book is very readable and for the most part, balanced. Sawler cites both defenders and critics of the family." -The Daily Gleaner
