Matt Symes, PhD Book order

Montreal at War chronicles the experiences of civilians, soldiers, and returned veterans in Montreal during the First World War.

A guide to the Canadian battlefields in France and Belgium that offers a brief critical history of the war and of Canada's contribution. It focuses on the Ypres Salient, Passchendaele, Vimy, and the 'Hundred Day's' battles and considers lesser-known battlefields as well.

As passionately written and compellingly argued as its precursor, Cinderella Army is both an important bookend to Copp's earlier work, and stands on its own as a significant contribution to Canadian military history.
