Book Synopsis

Gregory Kennedy presents a new kind of history focusing on the experiences of Acadian soldiers and their families before, during, and after the First World War. He significantly shifts common interpretations about recruitment in French Canada, service overseas, and the factors determining post-war socioeconomic outcomes.



Trade Review

“This is a groundbreaking study. While a great deal has been written about Canada's participation in the First World War, the Acadian dimension has received relatively little attention. With depth and balance, Kennedy convincingly integrates the seemingly disparate historiographies of the Canadian military and Acadian society, making this book a meaningful and unique contribution to the scholarship.” John G. Reid, Saint Mary's University and author of Essays on Northeastern North America, Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
