Militia myths : ideas of the Canadian citizen soldier, 1896-1921
"This is a must-have book in Canadian military and social history, representing both fields at their very best. Wood sets the record straight on one of the most discussed but nonetheless little-known concepts in our history: the militia myth. For the first time, we have a real and compelling understanding of what was once demonized in our history ù the idea of being a citizen first and a soldier if necessary."ù Roch Legault, co-editor of Loyal Service: Perspectives on French-Canadian Military Leaders
