Desmond Morton and Glenn Wright point out that Canada was a leader among its allies in devising plans for the retraining of disabled soldiers. The story of that defeat, never told until now, reveals a great deal about Canadian government, pressure group, and politics in the interwar period.

DESMOND MORTON is professor of history at the University of Toronto and principal of Erindale College. He is the author of ministers and Generals: Politics and the Canadian militia, 1868-1904, A Peculiar Kind of Politics: Canada's Overseas Ministry in the First World War, A Campaign (with J.L. Granatstein), and numerous other books.Wright Glenn :
