Six Years War 1939 - 1945 by Barry Broadfoot, Doubleday, 1974

At 18, he joined the Canadian Army and spent the next two years in the infantry. Broadfoot's historical research consisted of interviewing subjects, generally from across Canada, about their memories of their lives during Great Depression and World War II. Ten Lost Years, his first in this series of books was an oral history of the experiences of people during the Great Depression. The interviews became the basis of Ten Lost Years, a play written by Jack Winter In 1997, he was made a Member of the Order of Canada, Canada's highest civilian honour.
