In Verdun, English and French speakers lived side by side. Through their home-front activities as much as through enlistment, they proved themselves partners in the prosecution of Canada's war. Shared experiences and class similarities shaped responses based first and foremost in a sense of local identity.Fighting from Home paints a comprehensive, at times intimate, portrait of Verdun and Verdunites at war. Durflinger offers an innovative interpretive approach to wartime Canadian and Quebec social and cultural dynamics. It will appeal to anyone interested in the history of the Canadian home front during the Second World War.

"Fighting from Home is an essential contribution to Canadian military and social history. It very successfully reveals the heartfelt response of one community to a time of great challenge. Serge Durfinger's innovative work transforms this story of ordinary people in wartime into a nuanced analysis that will strike a chord with a broad audience." - Roch Legault, author of La Premiere Guerre Mondiale et le Canada: Contributions sociomilitaires quebecoises"
