Publisher Synopsis
One particular slice of Canadian historiography, however, has never adequately been examined: our official military historians...This is a strange oversight...Cook's Clio's Warriors: Canadian Historians and the Writing of the World Wars attempts to fill that gap and does so admirably - in fact, does so much more than admirably. Even if we accept that no history can be definitive, a meritorious few are destined for long and productive lives and Clio's Warriors stands high amongst that rank. -- Roger Hall * Literary Review of Canada, vol. 14, no. 9 * One of the greatest elements for capturing the public's attention about any given war is the historians themselves who write it...
