"The first comprehensive history of the Aboriginal First World War experience on the battlefield and the home front. When the call to arms was heard at the outbreak of the First World War, Canada's First Nations pledged their men and money to the Crown to honour their long-standing tradition of forming military alliances with Europeans during times of war, and as a means of resisting cultural assimilation and attaining equality through shared service and sacrifice. Initially, the Canadian government rejected these offers based on the belief that status Indians were unsuited to modern, civilized warfare. But in 1915, Britain intervened and demanded Canada actively recruit Indian soldiers to meet the incessant need for manpower. Thus began the complicated relationships between the Imperial Colonial and War Offices, the Department of Indian Affairs, and the Ministry of Militia that would affect every aspect of the war experience for Canada's Aboriginal soldiers. In his groundbreaking new book, For King and Kanata, Timothy C. Winegard reveals how national and international forces directly influenced the more than 4,000 status Indians who voluntarily served in the Canadian Expeditionary Force between 1914 and 1919--a per capita percentage equal to that of Euro-Canadians--and how subsequent administrative policies profoundly affected their experiences at home, on the battlefield, and as returning veterans."--Publisher's website.

William Lyon Mackenzie King served all of Canada as Prime Minister. He was Canadas longest serving Prime Minister and for all other Commonwealth countries, too. His successive governments created the Canadian Welfare state and the place we once held in the world. King strove for the social cushion of a united, autonomous and prosperous country. A lifetime later all Canadians still benefit from his initiative and skill. Kings life followed the Social Gospel in the political world and in the pioneering study of industrial relations. His work, relatives and friends; successes and disappointments, are presented as you have never encountered them before.
