Reviews
“August, 2014, will mark the hundredth anniversary of the beginning of World War I, and, under the authorship of Simon Rose, Weigl Educational Publishers has assembled an excellent five volume series entitled “Canada in World War I”. It is important to note the word Canada in the series’ title as the books, while about the war, focus particularly on Canada’s role in that war and the impacts the Great War had on Canada both during and after the conflict … This series is an excellent introduction to, and overview of, Canada’s participation in World War I.”
