pp. 281, bibliography and index. “‘No single issue has divided Canadians so sharply as conscription for overseas service.’ This is the argument that Granatstein and Hitsman make in ‘Broken Promises : A History of Conscription in Canada,’ the first study of compulsory military service as it has been employed, rejected, or argued about in Canada from the French regime through to the unification debate of the 1960’s. Most of the book is devoted to the conscription crises of the Great War and the Second World War, and new evidence from the papers and records of the participants is presented on the events of 1917 and 1944. The unhappy resolution of the conscription crises tells Canadians much about the reasons for French-Canadian dissatisfaction with Confederation.”old stain to fore edge of pages
