Reviews
For gaining a better understanding of Canadian operations in the Great War there is no single-volume work quite like Surviving Trench Warfare. -- Jack English Material History Review This is an excellent book, a fine piece of scholarship. -- J.L. Granatstein Canadian Book Review Annual This book should become a landmark in Canadian historical study of the First World War, for it breaks new ground, provokes new questions and is clearly written. -- A.M.J. Hyatt Canadian Military History A superior book. His thorough research, coherent style and layman-oriented text allow the reader not only to comprehend, but also enjoy this book. A must-read for all First World War history fans. -- Douglas Wilson The London Free Press An admirable book which helps us get inside the realities of the Western Front ... Essential reading for students of the Canadian Corps in the First World War. -- Tim Travers Intelligence and National Security 'Rawling's book is a terrific monograph because of its thorough research, considerable technical detail and excellent analysis of the relationship between the Canadian Corps and technology.' -- William S. Carter LRC The Literary Review of Canada 'We learn powerful lessons about change when old paths are blocked and old solutions no longer solve the problems of the day. The truth in these lessons is driven home when the illusion of trench warfare as being a static enterprise is replaced with a view that incorporates a conflict on multiple levels that probes the relationship between the tools of war and the soldiers who employed these weapons along with a struggle with the environment.' -- Eric S. Dowsett Canadian Social Studies
