Published to mark the 50th anniversary of the Armistice, this book offers a concise yet vivid account of Canada’s role in the First World War. Drawing on the Canadian War Museum’s commemorative exhibition, Swettenham highlights the mobilization of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, the major battles at Ypres, Vimy Ridge, and Passchendaele, and the home front’s sacrifices and transformations. Illustrated with photographs and maps, Canada and the First World War serves as both a memorial and an accessible introduction to the conflict, ensuring that the courage and endurance of Canadians in 1914–1918 are not forgotten.
