In honour of Remembrance Day, we’ve created a reading list of recent military history titles.
We are very proud to have published Through Their Eyes, which imagines the experiences of Canadian soldiers during the First World War through graphic artwork and illustration. Tune in to The Sunday Edition this weekend to hear author Robert Engen discuss this important project and resulting book.
The list features titles that look at war through different perspectives, from battlefield tourism, to the human dimension of war, and the challenges faced by Canadian war wives.
By Matthew Barrett and Robert C. Engen
After Canadian troops had captured Vimy Ridge in 1917, Lieutenant-General Arthur Currie was tasked with capturing Hill 70, a German stronghold near the French town of Lens. Combining outstanding original art and thought-provoking commentary, this book uncovers the stories behind this battle while expanding how history is shared and represented.
By Mark Connelly
A groundbreaking, richly-illustrated study of how a sense of place was created on the battlefields of the Western Front by soldiers, veterans, and tourists during the First World War and in the interwar period, Postcards from the Western Front is compelling reading for the wide array of people interested in the history of war, and its aftereffects.
Edited by Renée Dickason, Delphine Letort, Michel Prum and Stéphanie A.H. Bélanger
War and Remembrance brings an interdisciplinary approach to discussions of the cultural memory of war, offering case studies that analyze art, film, museums, and literature, question our current approaches to memory studies, and reinterpret established narratives, foregrounding what is often forgotten in the writing of a single, official History.
By Roy A. Prete
Based on extensive research in French political and military archives, this new in-depth study of Anglo-French military relations on the Western Front in 1915 fills a major gap in the unfolding drama of the First World War.
By David A. Borys
Civilians at the Sharp End follows the story of the Civil Affairs branch through France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany in 1944–45. Borys demonstrates that while the Canadian Army was indeed concerned for the welfare of civilians, military operations took priority over civilian needs.
Edited by Robert C. Engen, H. Christian Breede and Allan English
Why We Fight examines the face of battle as experienced by Canadians, offering key insights on combat motivation theories, and exploring sexual violence in war, professionalism, organisations, leadership, shared intent, motivation in extremis, and the toxicity of the “warrior” culture.
By Martha Hanna
The everyday struggles of war wives, lived far from the battlefields of France, have remained in the shadows of historical memory. This book highlights how Canadian women’s experiences of wartime marital separation resembled and differed from those of their European counterparts.
