The Patriotic Consensus: Unity, Morale, and the Second World War in Winnipeg - Perrun, Jody

Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to lower front inside corner; otherwise absolute minimal wear; appears unread; When WWII broke out, Winnipeg was Canada's fourth largest city: culturally diverse, with strong class divisions, and a vibrant tradition of political protest. In this book, Perrun explores the wartime experience of ordinary Winnipeggers through their responses to recruiting, the treatment of minorities, and the adjustments made necessary by family separation. With nearly one in ten Canadians in uniform, the war touched everyone's lives in some way. In Winnipeg, Perrun argues, unity was enhanced by shared hardships and the effectiveness of both official and unofficial information management.
