Sam
I didn’t know much about the Boer War or Canada’s, Churchill’s and Arthur Conan Doyle’s involvement before reading this fascinating book. Well-researched background and the participation of young men and women in the conflict plus soldiering in British India early in the 20th century.
★★★★★ Empire Discovered
The Tripletts
A thoroughly researched, sweeping history of the Great War told via the experiences of working-class soldiers captured in 1914 and the stories they hear from newly arriving POWs for the next four years.
★★★★★Empire and War
Bill
A well-researched but personal chronicle of WWII from a Canadian 1st Division artillery perspective that compliments the writing on the same subject by Farley Mowat’s two books from an infantry perspective of the Italian Campaign. A good read.
★★★★★Empire and Tyranny
Justin
Finally, this Cold War Memoir is written from a grass-roots perspective instead of all those written by political leaders or politicians. It covers the start of the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War protests, living in divided Germany, and a proxy struggle backed by the Soviets – a thorough and informative read.
