Clio's Warriors : Canadian Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Hardback
by Tim Cook
Part of the Studies in Canadian Military History series
Hardback
Description
Clio's Warriors examines how the Canadian world war experience has been constructed and reconstructed over time.
Tim Cook elucidates the role of historians in codifying the sacrifice and struggle of a generation as he discusses historical memory and writing, the creation of archives, and the war of reputations that followed each of the world wars on the battlefield. Only recently have academic military historians pushed the discipline to explore the impact of war on society.
Even so, the publications of official historians remain the central narrative of the national experience.
In analyzing where the profession has come from and where it needs to go, Clio’s Warriors plays a vital role in the ongoing challenge of writing critical history.
It will be an essential addition to the library of all Canadian military historians and students of military history and historiography.
