England, Canada and the Great War

Louis-Georges Desjardins (1849 - 1928)

Mr. Desjardins was driven to write this work to refute statements uttered by the nationalist Henri Bourassa, which the former feared painted all Quebecers with the same unpatriotic brush in respect to their contribution to the Great War. (Summary by Cathy Barratt)
