USED A NATION FORGED IN FIRE: CANADIANS & WWII

Description

Used “A Nation Forged in Fire: Canadians and the Second World War, 1939-1945” by J.L.Granatstein and Desmond Morton. Hardcover.

In 1939 Canada still had strong emotional and political links to Britain.  But as the UK reeled under the Axis onslaught and the prospect of a Nazi-occupied England loomed, Ottawa had to turn to the US for the economic and strategic aid that might turn the tide of war.  Canada itself was changing dramatically.  Women moved boldly into the workforce at all levels.  Industry boomed, creating a new and sophisticated expertise.  The country became a major supplier of food and armaments, and politicians used this new clout to demand a voice in international decisions.
