The Second World War shaped modern Canada. But the Second World War's relevance to Canada led to conflict between veterans and others in society more so than in any previous war. The Fight for History examines how Canadians framed and reframed the war experience over time. This is the story of how Canada has talked about the war in the past, how we tried to bury it, and how it was restored. A history of a constellation of changing ideas, with many historical twists and turns, and a series of fascinating actors and events.
