"Sales/posting to the USA suspended". Card covers, 281pp. A little wear to card edges/corners, previous owners' names at top of inside of front cover and at top right of front fep; a good copy. Compulsory military service has always been a controversial issue, and nowhere more so than in Canada. Award-winning historian J.L Granatstein considers the thorny questions it raises: "Is it worthwhile to impose conscription if by so doing you threaten to destroy the nation and the national unity that the men at the front are presumably fighting to preserve?" When Britain declared war on Germany in 1914, Canada sent a volunteer force. As the war progressed, however, reinforcements were needed. Quebec resisted, for demographic reasons, but there were larger questions as well: "To speak of defending French civilization in Europe while harrying it in America seems to us an absurd inconsistency,"15 wrote Henri Bourassa in August 1916. Bitterness and division were the product of poor government handling. Granatstein also explores how conscription did not go away following World War 1, but became an issue again in World War 2, the Korean War, and the Cold War. Conscription has plagued Canadians for a century. Granatstein compellingly argues that no single issue has done more to muddy the political waters or to destroy the unity of the nation. …
