About This Item

Toronto: New Jewish Press / University of Toronto Press, 2018. 358 pp, 9" H. B&w photographs. Signed and dated on half title page: "Ellin Bessner / May 3, 2023 / Oakville - Ontario". "In this comprehensive rendering, Ellin Bessner vividly depicts the valour, the trauma, the willingness to risk life and limb, and the impressive resilience of the Canadian Jewish men and women who served alongside their non-Jewish comrades during World War II. Encompassing Jewish participation from Dunkirk to Alaska, Ortona to Normandy, Hong Kong to Bergen Belsen, 'Double Threat' describes the massive involvement of Canada's Jewish community in the war effort. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and extensive research, Bessner captures the texture and feeling of a chapter of Canadian history that deserves to be commemorated." Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - faint crease on the spine.. Signed by Author.. First Edition. Soft Cover. Very Good+.
