Reviews

"A crucial primer, not only on the political and aesthetic nuances that distinguish Canadian and American literatures and societies, but also on how Canadians have historically reacted to crises linked to American militarism and racism. War Is Here connects a thousand dots in the existing criticism and will serve as the bedrock for future studies in the field." Ian Rae, King's University College, Western University
"An accessible exploration of the effect of the Vietnam War on Canadian writers, and how that conflict is embedded in our sense of Canada as a positive alternative to America." The Toronto Star
"McGill builds a compelling argument for the importance of the Vietnam War to Canadian literature's depictions of Canadian identity. Clearly written and cogently argued." CHOICE
