Rethinking Canadian history
BTL has published a number of history books that prompt readers to rethink historical events from an alternate viewpoint, and which provide a nuanced understanding of Canada and Canadians. "BTL has made its mark with several outstanding books on Canadian history, society, and politics. These books have impressed us with their scholarly rigor (unusual for a trade press), their intellectual depth, and their valuable contributions to our understanding of Canada and Canadians.” —Wilson Prize for Publishing Canadian History award committee
