In honour of Remembrance Day, Quillblog has put together a list (in no particular order) of 11 Canadian books that examine the horrors, heroes, and history of war.

The Wars by Timothy Findley

Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden

At the Sharp End and Shock Troops by Tim Cook

Reading by Lightning by Joan Thomas

La Guerre “ Yes Sir! by Roch Carrier

Charlie Wilcox by Sharon E. McKay

In Flanders Fields by Linda Granfield

Dieppe by Hugh Brewster

Juno by Ted Barris

Paris 1919 by Margaret MacMillan

This is, of course, just a small sampling of the many Canadian books that have been written about war “ for one thing, the list doesn’t include any of the numerous books that deal with the current conflict in Afghanistan. So we welcome further recommendations in the comments.
