Less attention has been paid to the daily lives of the combatants, how they endured the unimaginable conditions of industrial warfare: the rain of shells, bullets, and chemical agents. In The Secret History of Soldiers, Tim Cook, Canada's foremost military historian, examines how those who survived trench warfare on the Western Front found entertainment, solace, relief, and distraction from the relentless slaughter. These tales come from the soldiers themselves, mined from the letters, diaries, memoirs, and oral accounts of more than five hundred combatants. Rare examples of trench art, postcards, and even song sheets offer insight into a hidden society that was often irreverent, raunchy, and anti-authoritarian. Believing in supernatural stories was another way soldiers shielded themselves from the horror. While novels and poetry often depict the soldiers of the Great War as mere victims, this new history shows how the soldiers pushed back against the grim war, refusing to be broken in the mincing machine of the Western Front. The violence of war is always present, but Cook reveals the gallows humour the soldiers employed to get through it. Over the years, both writers and historians have overlooked this aspect of the men's lives. The fighting at the front was devastating, but behind the battle lines, another layer of life existed, one that included songs, skits, art, and soldier-produced newspapers. With his trademark narrative abilities and an unerring eye for the telling human detail, Cook has created another landmark history of Canadian military life as he reveals the secrets of how soldiers survived the carnage of the Western Front.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C457346</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C457346</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cook, Tim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/457346125</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Canadians Survived the Great War</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780735235267/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Canada at War]]></title><description><![CDATA["War can subject nations and their peoples to immense strain, and the dangers both tear societies apart and transform attitudes at a great pace. In this collection of his previously-published essays on the two world wars, J.L. Granatstein brings together research from archives in Canada and abroad, illuminating Canada's political transition from the British to American sphere of influence in the first half of the twentieth century. Canada at War examines the impact of both world wars on Canada and Canadians by examining conscription, foreign policy, and politics, with William Lyon Mackenzie King, Canada's longest-serving prime minister, acting as the book's central figure. Mackenzie King knew that Canada had barely survived the conscription crisis of the Great War, and he strove to avoid similar political strains in the Second World War. In Canada at War, Granatstein reflects on the most significant issues affecting Canadians during the wars, showing how this period ushered change into the Canadian landscape and transformed Canada into the country that it is today."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C686558</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C686558</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Granatstein, J.

Less attention has been paid to the daily lives of the combatants, how they coped with and endured the unimaginable conditions of what was then modern industrial warfare: the rain of shells, bullets, and chemical agents. The Secret History of Soldiers examines how those who managed to survive the horrific conditions of trench warfare on the Western Front found solace, relief, distraction and even entertainment.  Over the years, both writers and historians have overlooked this aspect of soldiers' lives, as there are no official histories or records. These tales come from the soldiers themselves, captured in letters, diaries, memoirs, and oral accounts. The recollections and artifacts of more than five hundred soldiers form the basis of this book; they include such rare resources as trench art, postcards, and even songsheets. Each piece of history is a reminder that these battles were fought by living, breathing human beings who, when they weren't engaged in battle, needed escapist activities to counter the daily horrors of trench life. It is those eyewitnesses to the bloodshed and carnage who act as guides to the Great War.  The world they introduce readers to isn't limited to the harrowing struggle to another day. Cook catalogues the violence of war, but also the gallows humour the soldiers employed to get through it. The Great War was a devastating event, but another layer of life that included songs, skits, art, and even newspapers existed on and behind the battle lines. With his trademark narrative abilities, Cook has created another landmark history of Canadian military life.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C447977</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C447977</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cook, Tim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/447977125</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>How Canadians Survived the Great War</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780735235274/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The River Battles]]></title><description><![CDATA["The Canadians called it the Promised Land. In late September 1944, the Emilia-Romagna plain before I Canadian Corps stretched to the far horizon—a deceptively wide-open space where the tanks could run free. Throughout British Eighth Army, hopes ran high that once it entered the plain, the Germans could be driven from Italy. As soon as the advance began, however, the plain’s true nature was revealed: the land was criss-crossed by rivers, canals and drainage ditches over which all bridges had been demolished. With higher command urging haste, the Canadians entered a long and nightmarish series of battles to win crossings over each waterway, whose high banks provided the Germans with perfect defensive positions. Early fall rains caused rivers to spill their banks and transformed the countryside into the worst quagmire the soldiers had ever seen. More than five months of battle followed, with weeks of hard fighting required to advance from one river to the next. Each month, conditions only worsened, and the casualty rates rose appallingly. As their comrades fell one by one, most soldiers sought merely to survive. Doing that much required every measure of stamina, courage and fighting skill they possessed. The fifth and final Canadian Battle Series volume set in Italy, The River Battles tells the story of this campaign’s last and hardest months. In riveting detail and with his trademark 'you-are-there' style, Mark Zuehlke shines a light on this forgotten chapter of Canada’s World War II experience."--Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C506691</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C506691</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Zuehlke, Mark]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/506691125</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Canada&apos;s Final Campaign in World War II Italy</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781771622356/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Good Allies]]></title><description><![CDATA[From our country's most important war historian, a gripping account of the turbulent relationship between Canada and the US during the Second World War. The two nations entered the war amidst rivalry and mutual suspicion, but learned to fight together before emerging triumphant and bound by an alliance that has lasted to this day. When the Second World War broke out in 1939, it set in motion a deadly struggle between the Axis powers and the Allies, but also fraught negotiations between and among the Allies. On questions of diplomacy, economic policy, industrial might, military capabilities, and even national sovereignty, thousands of lives and the fate of the free world depended on back-room deals and desperate trade-offs between soldiers, diplomats, and leaders. In North America, Canada and the US strained to forge a new military alliance to guard their coasts and fend off German U-boats and the menace of a Japanese invasion. Wartime economies were entwined to produce a staggering contribution of weapons to keep Britain and other allies in the war. The defense of North America against enemy threats was essential before the US and Canada could send armies, navies, and air forces overseas. In his trademark style, Tim Cook employs eyewitness accounts to vividly lay bare the brutality of combat and the courage of North Americans under fire. Behind the fighting fronts, the charged and often secret communications between national leaders Churchill, Roosevelt, and King reveals how their personalities shaped the outcome of history's most destructive war, the fate of the British Empire, and the North American alliance that lives on to this day. The Good Allies is a masterful account of how Canadians and Americans made the transition from wary rivals to steadfast allies, and how Canada thrived in the shadow of the military and global superpower. In exploring this complex and crucial dimension of the Second World War and its legacy, Cook recounts two nations' story of cooperation, of sacrifice, and of bleeding together to save the world from the fascist threat.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C823328</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C823328</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cook, Tim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/823328125</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Canada and the United States Fought Together to Defeat Fascism During the Second World War</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780735248205/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ten Decisions]]></title><description><![CDATA["In the Second World War, Canada faced desperate times. Tough decisions had to be made that could have meant life or death on the front lines. In the struggle overseas and the battle at home, the very future of the nation hung in the balance. For leaders of troops and governments, the pressure to make the right calls was enormous, as disaster loomed on all fronts. Even the decision to enter the war threatened to shatter the delicate balance that had been painstakingly struck between English and French Canada. From there, the problems only got messier. What ships and planes to build? What troops to field? The agonizing question of whether a costly battle was necessary, or if there could have been some other way. Canadians, from the main streets to the barracks and all along the corridors of power, grappled with these life-and-death decisions throughout the Second World War. Here are ten of Canada's most difficult decisions of the war, including brilliant successes, stunning surprises, and one disastrous failure whose effects resound to this day."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C411676</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C411676</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rose, Larry D.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/411676125</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Canada&apos;s Best, Worst, and Most Far-reaching Decisions of the Second World War</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781459738287/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Last Good War]]></title><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C52939</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C52939</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Granatstein, J.

Written in Cook's compelling narrative style, this book shows in impressive detail how soldiers, airmen, and sailors fought - the evolving tactics, weapons of war, logistics, and technology. He also examines the war as an engine of transformation for Canada. With a population of fewer than twelve million, Canada embraced its role as an arsenal of democracy, exporting war supplies, feeding its allies, and raising a million-strong armed forces that served and fought in nearly every theatre of war. The six-year-long exertion caused disruption, provoked nationwide industrialization, ushered in changes to gender roles, exacerbated the tension between English and French, and forged a new sense of Canadian identity. It showed that Canadians were willing to bear almost any burden and to pay the ultimate price in the pursuit of victory. 2018.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C804000</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C804000</guid><category><![CDATA[DAISY]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cook, Tim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/804000125</comments><format>DAISY</format><subtitle>The Secret History of Soldiers : How Canadians Survived the Great War</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780221078460/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Endless Battle]]></title><description><![CDATA["Near the end of October 1941, a few hundred soldiers from New Brunswick were among the 1,975 Canadian troops who set sail from Vancouver to reinforce the British Colony of Hong Kong. Within two short months, after a hard-fought but disastrous battle against the Imperial Japanese Army, the island fell to the invaders on Christmas Day, and its defenders were ordered to surrender by the governor of Hong Kong. The survivors were taken captive. Based on the first-hand accounts of the author's father, Andrew "Ando" Flanagan, a rifleman from Jacquet River, NB, The Endless Battle explores the Battle of Hong Kong and its long aftermath, through the eyes of the soldiers. During their captivity, the POWs endured starvation, forced labour, and brutal beatings. They lived in deplorable conditions and many died from illness. But the soldiers stuck together, bound by their camaraderie, loyalty to King and Country, and collective desire to sabotage the Japanese war effort. Writing intimately and sensitively about the lingering effects of the trauma of the soldiers held in captivity, Andy Flanagan shows both the heroism of individual soldiers and the terrible costs of war."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C407308</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C407308</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Flanagan, Andy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/407308125</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Fall of Hong Kong and Canadian POWs in Imperial Japan</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781773100050/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fight to the Finish]]></title><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C313165</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C313165</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cook, Tim]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/313165125</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Canadians in the Second World War, 1944-1945.

Within two short months, after a hard-fought but disastrous battle against the Imperial Japanese Army, the island fell to the invaders on Christmas Day, and its defenders were ordered to surrender by the governor of Hong Kong. The survivors were taken captive.  Based on the first-hand accounts of the author's father, Andrew "Ando" Flanagan, a rifleman from Jacquet River, NB,  The Endless Battle  explores the Battle of Hong Kong and its long aftermath, through the eyes of the soldiers. During their captivity, the POWs endured starvation, forced labour, and brutal beatings. They lived in deplorable conditions and many died from illness. But the soldiers stuck together, bound by their cameraderie, loyalty to King and Country, and collective desire to sabotage the Japanese war effort.  Writing intimately and sensitively about the lingering effects of the trauma of the soldiers held in captivity, Andy Flanagan shows both the heroism of individual soldiers and the terrible costs of war.   The Endless Battle  is volume 24 in the New Brunswick Military Heritage Series.]]></description><link>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C842250</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S125C842250</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Flanagan, Andy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Invalid Date</pubDate><comments>https://hpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/842250125</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Fall of Hong Kong and Canadian POWs in Imperial Japan</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781773100067/MC.GIF&amp;client=hamip&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
