Forgetting, Remembering and Remaking Canada’s Second World War

Join Valour Canada at The Ranchmen’s Club for Dr. Tim Cook’s presentation “Forgetting, Remembering and Remaking Canada’s Second World War”, which includes a complimentary signed copy of his book, The Fight for History: 75 Years of Forgetting, Remembering, and Remaking Canada’s Second World War (Complimentary books graciously provided by Manteo).

Cook will examine the strange way that Canadians ignored for decades their epic contributions during the Second World War. Despite 1.1 million Canadians having served in uniform, and millions more who supported the total war effort from the home front, Canada rapidly left the war behind, publishing few histories, building fewer monuments, and advancing into the prosperous second half of the twentieth century. He will talk about the neglect of our Second World War history until quite recently, and highlight the key role of veterans in reclaiming this important legacy of service and sacrifice.
