World War Won
The Great Canadian Triumph
An alternative history in which Canada plays a decisive and largely unrecognised role in the outcome of the Second World War — and what that story reveals about national identity.
History is written by the victors — but which victors? World War Won is an alternative history that asks a simple, provocative question: what if Canada's contribution to the Allied victory in the Second World War had been not just significant, but decisive? And what if that story had been systematically overlooked in the decades that followed?
Part thriller, part historical novel, part meditation on national identity, World War Won follows a Canadian historian who stumbles upon a cache of classified documents that rewrite everything she thought she knew about the war. As she digs deeper, she finds herself in a race against forces that would prefer the story stay buried.
Meticulously researched and compulsively readable, this is a book about history, memory, and the stories nations tell themselves — and the ones they choose to forget.
