Iarocci and Keshen offer a comparative overview of the Canadian experience in the First and Second World Wars, drawing on older and newer historical studies as frames of reference. They explore the fighting on land, at sea, and in the skies, as well as the impact of the two conflicts at home--in social, political, economic, and cultural terms. They also introduce contemporary debates such as whether conscription was necessary in each war, whether the conflicts changed the status of Canadian women, whether Canada's role in the strategic bombing of Germany was worth the cost.
