Marching as to War: Canada's Turbulent Years - Berton, Pierre

Clean, tight, unmarked; spine straight and uncreased; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Pierre Berton brings history to life in the first half of the 20th century, when young men marched off to war not once but four times, from the Boer War in South Africa to WWI, WWII, and the Korean War. Overflowing with inspiring and controversial characters, this book describes how the experience of war helped bind Canada together as a nation while at the same time revealing deep schisms in society. Berton chronicles the change in Canada's dependence upon Great Britain and traces the gradual emergence of an independent nation, caught in a love-hate relationship with the United States.
