Reviews / Votes
"A War with a Silver Lining makes a distinct contribution to our understanding of the church's role in shaping Canadian discourse on the South African War and its national significance. There is a growing literature on religion, missions, imperialism and war, all subjects that inform and will be informed by this study." Carman Miller, McGill University, author of Painting the Map Red: Canada and the South African War, 1899-1902 "A well-documented, carefully balanced, and widely informed argument which adds a great deal to the understanding of Canada's churches and religious idealism as significant contributors to English Canadian enthusiastic participation in the war." Duff Crerar, Grande Prairie Regional College and author of Padres in No Man's Land: Canadian Chaplains and the Great WarMore details
