A Tale of Two Nations: Canada, U.S. and WWI

Two nations. One war. Five years that changed the world forever.

In A Tale of Two Nations: Canada, U.S. and WWI, author Melina Druga presents a groundbreaking chronicle of the Great War told through the headlines, editorials and voices of the time. This five-volume collection — 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917, and 1918 — captures how North America experienced World War I as it unfolded, one front page at a time.

Through authentic newspaper reports from both sides of the border, readers witness how Canada fought under the British flag while the United States remained neutral, debated intervention and finally entered the conflict. From the first shots in Sarajevo to the Battle of the Somme, from America's declaration of war to the Armistice and the devastation of the Spanish flu, Druga's meticulously researched series reveals the emotions, biases and truths printed in real time.

Part military history, part media study, and wholly human, A Tale of Two Nations explores how journalism shaped public opinion and national identity during one of the most transformative periods in modern history.

Perfect for readers of military history, historical nonfiction, and World War I studies, this omnibus edition offers an unforgettable journey through five years of war, sacrifice, and storytelling — as seen through the eyes of the journalists who lived it.
