Montreal at War, 1914–1918

“Montreal at War is a major addition to both Canadian military and urban historiographies. This work will appeal to students and scholars of Canadian military history who wish to understand the war experience through the eyes of Montrealers and the impacts of the conflict on Canada’s metropolis. Because of its engaging and compelling writing style, the books might also attract general readers.” Caroline D'Amours, Royal Military College of Canada, Canadian Military History

"Terry Copp brilliantly combines the two fields of interest that defined his fruitful career—social and military history—to immerse readers in the urban emotions of Montreal and the muddy trenches of Europe. Montreal at War is an important addition to a flourishing body of literature on the Great War in Canada."

Carl Bouchard, Professor of History, University of Montreal

"Terry Copp’s detailed study of wartime Montreal challenges many established ‘truths’ about Canada in the First World War. The war both united and divided Montrealers. But little-known strikes, hockey rivalries, and municipal tragedies also reveal the wartime city’s complex fault lines. A remarkable work."

Geoffrey Hayes, Professor of History, University of Waterloo

"Terry Copp has given us a magnificent history of a city at war, not from the hindsight-skewed view of a historian a hundred years removed but from the perspective of the citizens who lived it. This is how history should be done."

Douglas E. Delaney, Canada Research Chair in War Studies, Royal Military College of Canada
