Description
Book SynopsisIn Canada’s Great War, 1914-1918, historian Brian Douglas Tennyson argues that Canada’s enthusiasm had the ironic effect of bringing this British Dominion nation much closer to its southern neighbor, the United States, especially after the latter joined the fray.
Trade ReviewThis brief book aimed at US and Canadian readers attempts to tell the story of Canada's role in the Great War. This is a large subject, and Tennyson has tackled it with the help of a list of secondary sources. . . .[F]or those who are interested in the subject of Canada's Great War, this brief, illustrated volume will be a useful starting point that covers the fighting better than it does the home front. Summing Up: Recommended. General, public, and undergraduate libraries. * CHOICE *
