This collection, drawn from the work of Terry's colleagues and former students, considers Canada and the Second World War from a wealth of perspectives. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Social, cultural, and military historians address topics under five headings: The Home Front, The War of the Scientists, The Mediterranean Theatre, Normandy\/Northwest Europe, and The Aftermath. The questions considered are varied and provocative: How did Canadian youth and First Nations peoples understand their wartime role? What position did a Canadian scientist play in the Allied victory and in the peace? Were veterans of the Mediterranean justified in thinking theirs was the neglected theatre? How did the Canadians in Normandy overcome their opponents but not their historians? Why was a Cambridge scholar attached to First Canadian Army to protect monuments? And why did Canadians come to commemorate the Second World War in much the same way they commemorated the First? \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The study of Canada in the Second World War continues to challenge, confound, and surprise. In the questions it poses, the evidence it considers, and the conclusions it draws, this important collection says much about the lasting influence of the work of Terry Copp. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eForeword by John Cleghorn.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e``In one sense, the book...is a simple but elegant testimony by colleagues and former students to [Terry Copp's] eminence as a scholar and teacher; on another, it speaks loudly about the vibrancy and depth of Canadian military history that has developed over the past quarter century.'' -- Brian JC McKercher, Royal Military College, Kingston, ON -- Cercles, 2014\u003cbr\u003e``This ... collection of essays ... asks familiar questions but provides new answers.... While many of the essays take a traditional military history approach and come to new insights through a careful reinterpretation of the sources, other sections also deal with the social and political history of the home front and the cultural impact of the war and its aftermath.... This volume provides much that is new and interesting about Canada's war effort, embracing different historical approaches but emphasizing the importance of evidence-based historical interpretation. Terry Copp has taught his students well, and this book is a fitting Festschrift honoring his distinguished career.'' -- Angelike Sauer, Texan Lutheran University -- Yearbook of German American Studies, Spring 2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eCanada and the Second World War: Essays in Honour of Terry Copp\u003c\/i\u003e, edited by Geoffrey Hayes, Mike Bechthold, and Matt Symes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword  \u003cb\u003eJohn Cleghorn\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Introduction \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Terry Copp's Approach to History  Mark Osborne Humphries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Home Front\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 \"\"To Hold on High the Torch of Liberty\"\":Canadian Youth and the Second World War  Cynthia Comacchio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Fighting a White Man's War?
