‘A fascinating glimpse into wartime Canada… The authors succeed in delivering a readable, wider view of Canada’s role in the world wars.’- J. Tucci (Choice Magazine vol 53:11:2016) ‘This is an ideal reader for undergraduates or for those looking for an accessible text and expert analysis on Canada’s role in the two World Wars and their impact on Canadian society.’- Tim Cook (Canadian Historical review vol 97:03:2016) ‘The authors’ coverage of the two world wars is exhaustive, and very little escapes their attention… Iarocci and Keshen do largely succeed in offering us a new way of looking at Canada’s experience of the two major wars of the twentieth century.’- Jonathan Weier (BC Studies winter 2016/17) ‘This book’s comparative focus, wealth of accessible detail and statistics, and clear presentation means that it will be an interesting and useful addition to the classroom and the library of the general reader.’- Amy Shaw (Canadian Journal of History vol 52:02:2017)
