Another look at Canada in the War - but Nova Scotia history. Nice primary text and images. Good for those who like maritime history.

I was very happy to see this book pop up on NetGalley and immediately requested it! (Thank you Nimbus Publishing & NetGalley)
I’m from Lunenburg county and was looking to get more into local history and this just seemed like the perfect start.
This book delves into many important topics concerning the county and country during the first world war.
I’ve learned so many interesting bits of history I didn’t know before, I’m so glad I read this book. Most interestingly was the accounts and perspectives of newspapers of the time, how involved Lunenburg County was in relation to the rest of the country, how instrumental the women in the county were toward the suffragette movement and the right to vote, and most terrifyingly the amount of fisherman on the south shore who had their vessels sank and were taken hostage by germans on U-Boats. Germany could’ve invaded the province at any moment.
What was most amusing about this book were the mentions of my small town, its hooliganism, and rum-running— not much has changed in 100 years!

Very enjoyable, eye-opening and insightful.
I will most certainly pick up a hard copy!
5 stars.

The author's painstaking research and attention to detail is obvious in the writing of this book. There were many facts that I only discovered after reading this!

A really interesting and informative read which has obviously been very well researched. It was intriguing to read about this part of history.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.
