Reviews

"Jeffrey Keshen's Saints, Sinners, and Soldiers is an extraordinary look at how Canadians lived, loved, and worked on the homefront during the Second World War. His massive research into the sources that other historians usually skip over has produced the single best study of rapidly changing social values in a time of great crisis that we have. Absolutely first-rate..."; - J.L. Granatstein, author of Canada's Army: Waging War and Keeping the Peace"
