About this ebook
- The first book-length study on the 1917 election, held during WWI, which nearly tore the country apart over questions of conscription and Canada’s place in the world
- Published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the election, 17 December 1917
- Deals with issues still of great public interest and debate today: national unity, Canadian values and citizenship, and negative advertising
- Argues that 1917 was the most divisive election in Canadian history, with dramatic details of electoral manipulation, political friends torn apart, stress of war
- This was the first federal election in Canada where women could vote, and the impact of this change on the campaign and outcome is a major topic
- Authors are experts in their fields, and their previous book, Canada 1911, was praised in the Literary Review of Canada and Canada’s History
