{"product_id":"zombie-army-daniel-byers-9780774830522","title":"Zombie Army: The Canadian Army and Conscription in the Second World War","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eZombie Army\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of Canada's Second World War military conscripts - reluctant soldiers pejoratively referred to as \"zombies\" for their perceived similarity to the mindless movie monsters of the 1930s. In the first full-length book on the subject in almost forty years, Byers combines underused and newly discovered records to argue that although conscripts were only liable for home defence, they soon became a steady source of recruits from which the army found volunteers to serve overseas. He also challenges the traditional nationalist-dominated impression that Quebec participated only grudgingly in the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Byers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774830522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774830522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Daniel Byers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096716779775,"sku":"9780774830522","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/zombie-army-daniel-byers-9780774830522","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
