Zombie Army tells the story of Canadaâ€™s Second World War military conscripts â€“ reluctant soldiers pejoratively referred to as â€œzombiesâ€ for their perceived similarity to the mindless movie monsters of the 1930s. In the first full-length book on the subject in almost forty years, Byers combines underused and newly discovered records to argue that although conscripts were only liable for home defence, they soon became a steady source of recruits from which the army found volunteers to serve overseas. He also challenges the traditional nationalist-dominated impression that Quebec participated only grudgingly in the war.
