Beskrivning

Drawing from newspapers, journals, government reports, and archival records, Terry Copp – one of Canada’s leading military historians – tells the story of how citizens in Canada’s largest city responded to the challenges of the First World War.Montreal at War addresses responses to the outbreak of war in Europe and the process of raising an army for service overseas. It details the shock of intense combat and heavy casualties, studies the mobilization of volunteers, and follows the experience of battalions from Montreal to the Battle of Vimy Ridge.Challenging long-held assumptions, Montreal at War aims to understand the war experience as it unfolded, approaching history from the perspective of those who lived through it.

Recensioner i media

"Montreal at War is a major addition to both Canadian military and urban historiographies. This work will appeal to students and scholars of Canadian military history who wish to understand the war experience through the eyes of Montrealers and the impacts of the conflict on Canada’s metropolis. Because of its engaging and compelling writing style, the books might also attract general readers." - Caroline D'Amours, Royal Military College of Canada (Canadian Military History)
