War and Society in Post-Confederation Canada

by Jeffrey A. Keshen, Serge Marc Durflinger

War and Canadian Society seeks to sensitize readers to selected topics in Canadian military and social-military history and to familiarize them with some important and often emotive writing about the effects of war on Canada in the post-Confederation era. The readings, drawn from the recent and not-so-recent historiography, are grouped around themes, or modules, which convey some measure of war's often transformative effect on Canada and Canadians.

Not really a cover-to-cover read, War and Society is a great reference book. The collection of speeches, letters, and articles from the various periods are awesome. Politicians, soldiers, and the general public weigh in on the effects of war on Canadian society and the Canadian public. Recommended for (war) history buffs.
