About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of England, Canada and the Great War, by Louis-Georges Desjardins. Read by Cathy Barratt. Mr. Desjardins was driven to write this work to refute statements uttered by the nationalist Henri Bourassa, which the former feared painted all Quebecers with the same unpatriotic brush in respect to their contribution to the Great War.
