Canada in the 20th century: Vol. 2: Tragedy & triumph, 1930-1953.
Resumen:
Ravaged by the unemployment and misery of the Great Depression, Canada is once again called upon to stand with Britain in a global war - this one more terrible than any conflict in human history. The country plays a central role in the defeat of the Axis powers, and emerges from the challenges of World War Two reinvigorated and united. The onset of the Cold War and the Korean conflict cast a pall over the post-war years, but the hard times finally give way to an unprecedented period of prosperity that transforms the lives of ordinary Canadians. The tragedies and triumphs that shaped a maturing nation are recalled in vivid detail - all lavishly illustrated with hundreds of unique photographs.
