Clio's Warriors examines how the Canadian world war experience has
been constructed and reconstructed over time. Tim Cook elucidates the
role of historians in codifying the sacrifice and struggle of a
generation as he discusses historical memory and writing, the creation
of archives, and the war of reputations that followed each of the
world wars on the battlefield. Only recently have academic military
historians pushed the discipline to explore the impact of war on
society. Even so, the publications of official historians remain the
central narrative of the national experience. In analyzing where the
profession has come from and where it needs to go, Clio’s Warriors
plays a vital role in the ongoing challenge of writing critical
history. It will be an essential addition to the library of all
Canadian military historians and students of military history and
historiography.
