Militia myths : ideas of the Canadian citizen soldier, 1896-1921

"Militia Myths is an engaging and important book. It revises our understanding of military professionalism in the early twentieth century. Wood shows the distinction between amateur and professional soldiers in modern warfare to be more complex than we have come to believe. His work is sure to stimulate further study of the pre-1914 period and the impact of the Great War on Canada's armed forces."--Andrew Iarocci, author of Shoestring Soldiers: The 1st Canadian Division at War, 1914-15
