	Radical Mandarin: The Memoirs of Escott Reid. by J.L. Granatstein (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Reid's memoir is a splendid piece of work, refreshing for its frankness and surprisingly honest in presenting the criticism of others, most often collected by hard research into archival sources.His career was a distinguished one.
		Reid was an elemental force, a gadfly, a Frank Underhill writ large, to use a historian's analogy.His record in retrospect looks very impressive indeed, and not least for the array of first-rate books he produced.
		Reid's 1930s' academic writings on Canadian politics and foreign policy, moreover, are still impressive, and his papers in the National Archives include his memoranda of interviews with politicians and party figures that he undertook in what must have been the first systematic oral history project in this country.

	The Telegraph - Calcutta : Opinion
		As the Canadian diplomat, Escott Reid, wrote in 1957, “there is no one since Napoleon who has played both so large a role in the history of his country and has also held the sort of place which Nehru holds in the hearts and minds of his countrymen.
		Reid’s own later book, Envoy to Nehru (1981), is one of the more thoughtful studies of a man who has been subject to more than his fair share of adulation and vituperation.
		Writing in 1957, Escott Reid remarked that Nehru’s “tragedy may be the tragedy of (Franklin Delano) Roosevelt: to remain leader of his country for a year or two after he has lost his grip and thus damage his own reputation and his country’s interests”.

	Foreign Affairs Canada and International Trade Canada
		In Escott Reid: Diplomat and Scholar, FAC Historian Hector Mackenzie assesses Reid's contribution to the creation of the United Nations in the mid-1940s, while two of Canada's most prolific political scientists, David Haglund and Stéphane Roussel, examine Reid's crucial role in the negotiations to establish the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
		As this study makes clear, Reid's approach to policy making was sophisticated and his idealism often tempered by an astute grasp of the competing interests of a range of national and bureaucratic powers.
		Escott Reid was one of the first Canadians to acknowledge and address the implications for Canada of Washington's superpower status, and his reflections on Canada's place in the world remain as relevant and as provocative today as on the day he wrote them.

	Books in Canada - Review
		It was clearly with some relief that Reid laid down the burden of public life in 1969 and turned to writing books.
		Sometimes, but not always, for often Reid accepted the orthodoxies of the day, and his career as a mandarin was never fully realized.
		He was also a maverick and a gadfly, a former Rhodes scholar who never quite found his niche in life, being too committed to change for the ivory tower of academe yet too intellectually honest and impatient to he a careerist.

	Escott Reid
		With contributions from some of Canada's leading historians and political scientists, "Escott Reid: Diplomat and Scholar" offers a fresh perspective on the life and career of one of the most important public intellectuals and diplomats in twentieth-century Canada, critically exploring the tensions between Reid's progressive idealism and the world in which he lived.
		Hector Mackenzie assesses Reid's contribution to the creation of the United Nations in the mid-1940s, while David Haglund and Stéphane Roussel examine Reid's crucial role in the negotiations to establish the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
		The authors challenge critics who dismiss Reid as an impractical and ineffectual idealist, demonstrating that his approach to policy-making was sophisticated and his idealism tempered by an astute grasp of the competing interests of a range of national and bureaucratic powers.

		Escott Reid, who recently died at the age of 94, thought of himself as a "radical mandarin".
		In 1968-1969 Reid tried to act on his awareness that York was unable to supply Glendon with the money necessary to realize his vision for the college.
		In retirement, which Reid spent largely at the farm he and his wife had in Wakefield, Que., he began the most fruitful phase of his pedagogical career.

		Reid put up the general political case for giving India more assistance in its second five-year plan than was possible under the Colombo Plan and for singling India out if necessary in doing more than for others.
		I had told Reid last night that I thought he could not expect any action within the next six months on the matter and that I felt he would be wise to put his case in longer run terms, which he was doing this morning.
		I said that it seemed to me that one could seriously study such a proposal, although I was not familiar enough with the facts and issues to have an opinion as to whether we should be prepared to join in such a consortium.

		Special trains were run from out-of-the-way places to carry people to Nehru’s meetings, enthusiasts travelling not only on foot-boards but also on top of carriages.
		No leader in modern times has enjoyed quite this kind of veneration: as Escott Reid suggests, Nehru was for his people the founder, guardian, and redeeemer of the Indian nation state — Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt all rolled into one.
		Lord Mountbatten once claimed that if Nehru had died in 1958 he would have been remembered as the greatest statesman of the 20th century.
