Summary:
"Montreal at
War
tells the story of how citizens in Canada's largest city responded to the challenges of the First World
War
. Drawing from newspapers, journals, government reports, and archival records, Terry Copp -- one of Canada's leading military historians -- raises important questions about how the
Canadian
war
experience
has been interpreted, and the ways in which hindsight has privileged some voices over others. Painting a picture of life in Montreal during the first years of the twentieth century, 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. The crisis of conscription is described in the context of national and local developments, and great attention is paid to the experiences of both the army overseas and civilians at home. 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."--Publisher.
