Canada at War e-bog

Canada at War explores the impact of the two world wars on Canada and Canadians by examining conscription, foreign policy, and politics, with William Lyon Mackenzie King, Canada's longest-serving prime minister, acting as the book's central figure. In this collection of essays, J.L.
