The Selected Papers of Sir Arthur Currie brings to life the troubled world of Canada’s most famous general. Detailed, introspective, and comprehensive, his prolific writings illuminate not only events at the front, but also Canada’s war at home and the legacy of the Great War for Canadian society. Introduced and carefully edited by Mark Osborne Humphries, it presents a vivid portrait of a very private public figure through his diaries, letters, and final report to the government.

About the Editor: Mark Osborne Humphries is a PhD Candidate at the University of Western Ontario where he is studying the great influenza pandemic of 1918-19 under the direction of Jonathan Vance. At Western, Mark holds a Canada Graduate Scholarship and was the John A Macdonald Graduate Fellow in Canadian History. He lives in Waterloo.
