L'effort de guerre au pays by David B. Scott,Canada. Canadian Heritage,Canadian Studies Program Pdf
The Second World War was fought and won on many fronts. The stories of Canadian soldiers and their battles have been told in countless books and articles. But the story of war on the Canadian home front has sometimes been neglected. The home front provided moral support to those overseas, as well as the hardware, bullets, bombs, tanks, ships and aircraft they needed to do their jobs. This document describes life in Canada before and during the war. It discusses conscription, the production of war goods, women in the workforce, rationing, volunteer work and victory bonds.
