The stories—often drawn from letters and diary entries of soldiers, nurses, and family remaining on the home front—collectively capture the stark reality of the First World War." —Mark Zuehlke, author of the 14-volume Canadian Battle Series and winner of the Governor General's Pierre Berton Award for Popular History

"A wide-ranging, interesting, and at times intimate primer on the Great War from its beginning to the end, the Armistice and the aftermath." —Susan Raby-Dunne, author of Morrison: The Long-Lost Memoir of Canada's Artillery Commander in the Great War and John McCrae: Beyond Flanders Fields
