Summary
Vance examines the reaction of Canadians to the First World War as a cultural and philosophical force, rather than a political and military event. He argues that Canadians constructed a version of the war which stressed traditional values and the… positive results of the war experience, and how this myth helped create within Canada a sense of nationhood. 1997.
