Desmond Morton, one of Canadas most respected historians, has given us a short celebration of Canada with a depth of insight that truly helps us to know one another and all the regions of the country.

In Fight or Pay, Desmond Morton turns his eye to the stories of those who paid in lieu of fighting - the wives, mothers, and families left behind when soldiers went to war.
