Broken Promises: A History of Conscription in Canada
Compulsory military service has always been a controversial issue, and nowhere more so than in Canada. Award-winning historian J.L
Granatstein considers the thorny questions it raises: “Is it worthwhile to impose conscription if by so doing you threaten to destroy the
nation and the national unity that the men at the front are presumably fighting to preserve?ö This new edition of Granatstein’s classic
account begins with a reflection about why he has changed his mind since first writing this book over thirty years ago. It remains the only
history of conscription in Canada.
