A vivid and long overdue account of one of the great untold Canadian military stories: Sydney's importance as a major convoy port, a base in the hunt for German submarines, and an industrial centre producing critically important coal and steel.

Trade Review
'If you thought Sydney only played a small part during the war, this book might shock you.' Cape Breton Post 'Well-written, superbly researched, this is a master study of the history of a city, region, and nation.' -- J.L. Granatstein Choice 'This is social history of the best kind, laced with interesting details and personal recollections that help bring a community to life as it intersects with the great events of the past two and a half centuries.'
