Like some 15,000 other Canadians, Smythe, Lamontagne, and MacMillan experienced the bewilderment that accompanied the moment of capture, the humiliation of being completely in the captor's power, and the sense of stagnating in a backwater while the rest of the world moved forward."Alcuin Society award for excellence in Canadian book design ;1994.Prisoners of warCanadaHistory20th centuryWar (International law)History20th centuryConcentration campsHistory20th centuryPrisoners of warHistoryWar (International law)HistoryConcentration campsHistory341.6/5/0971Vance Jonathan Franklin William1963-1754196MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808666603321Objects of concern4190425UNINA
