Review Quotes:
"Terry Copp brilliantly combines the two fields of interest that defined his fruitful career--social and military history--to immerse readers in the urban emotions of Montreal and the muddy trenches of Europe. Montreal at War is an important addition to a flourishing body of literature on the Great War in Canada."
