About this title

Synopsis

A city at war, a nation transformed. In the crucible of World War I, Ottawa's corridors of power became the unseen front lines-where ordinary Canadians in the civil service rose to meet extraordinary demands. Two Years of War: As Viewed from Ottawa offers a rare, first-hand account of Canada's government war efforts from 1914 to 1916, capturing the pulse of a country mobilising behind the scenes as its sons fought overseas. Every page immerses readers in the lived reality of wartime Canada, revealing how the civil service shaped the national response and spirit. This compelling historical war account, originally published as a special issue of The Civilian, stands as an essential resource for history enthusiasts and academic researchers alike. It chronicles the daily challenges, sacrifices, and triumphs of those who kept the machinery of government running during an era of uncertainty. Through its vivid narrative, the book illuminates the vital, often overlooked role of the Canadian civil service in early 20th-century military history-making it indispensable for anyone interested in Canadian history literature or the story of Ottawa during wartime. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today-a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. This is more than a military history book; it is a cultural artefact, bridging past and present for all who value the enduring legacy of 1914-1916 Canada.
