Written by A. B. Dixon, The Turning of the Tide is a novel set in Ottawa, Regina, and on the Western Front during WWI. The novel describes how the Canadian army was one of the worst Allied militaries at the commencement of the war but ended the war as one of the Allies finest militaries. How appallingly Canadian soldiers were treated as colonial soldiers and some of the most remarkable accomplishments by the Canadian Expeditionary Force are explained. The novel also describes the divide between French and English Canada that almost led to civil war and is a love story about two aristocrats, a French-Canadian man and a British Lady. The book can be purchased at all major bookstores and online, including Amazon.
