Distant Thunder - Canada's Soldiers on the Western Front

Joyce Kennedy mixes her father's World War I war-front diary and letters with rich documentation from official and scholarly sources. She has created an expressive, emotion-packed history full of the brutality of war. Although thousands of books have been written on World War I, most give little insight into the major role that Canada played in the conflict understandable, perhaps, because Canada was a British colony, and her exploits and casualties were most often included under British Empire statistics.
