It takes the reader from rural Canadian field and farm to the slopes of Vimy Ridge and the mud of Passchendaele, and shows how a tightly knit community was consumed and transformed by the trauma of war. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn 1914, East Flamborough was like a thousand other rural townships in Canada, broadly representative in its wartime experience. A Township at War draws from rich narrative sources to reveal what rural people were like a century ago - how they saw the world, what they valued, and how they lived their lives. We see them coming to terms with global events that took their loved ones to distant battlefields, and dealing with the prosaic challenges of everyday life. Fall fairs, recruiting meetings, church services, school concerts - all are re-imagined to understand how rural Canadians coped with war, modernism, and a world that was changing more quickly than they were. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a story of resilience and idealism, of violence and small-mindedness, of a world that has long disappeared and one that remains with us to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 275\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9 x 6.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 24, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47284772602105,"sku":"9781771123860","price":49.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/RjRaWU4wUlYrRzRDTUVWcW5iUGxadz09_a2399a9a-f9d8-4bb2-8710-3e533ef6d9d9.webp?v=1769088436","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/a-township-at-war-hardcover-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
