Terry Copp's tireless teaching, research, and writing has
challenged generations of Canadian veterans, teachers, and students
to discover an informed memory of their country's role in the
Second World War. This collection, drawn from the work of Terry's
colleagues and former students, considers Canada and the Second
World War from a wealth of perspectives.
Social, cultural, and military historians address topics under
five headings: The Home Front, The War of the Scientists, The
Mediterranean Theatre, Normandy/Northwest Europe, and The
Aftermath. The questions considered are varied and provocative: How
did Canadian youth and First Nations peoples understand their
wartime role? What position did a Canadian scientist play in the
Allied victory and in the peace? Were veterans of the Mediterranean
justified in thinking theirs was the neglected theatre? How did the
Canadians in Normandy overcome their opponents but not their
historians? Why was a Cambridge scholar attached to First Canadian
Army to protect monuments? And why did Canadians come to
commemorate the Second World War in much the same way they
commemorated the First?
The study of Canada in the Second World War continues to
challenge, confound, and surprise. In the questions it poses, the
evidence it considers, and the conclusions it draws, this important
collection says much about the lasting influence of the work of
Terry Copp.
Foreword by John Cleghorn.
