Review :
…by far the most complete account to date of conscription in Canada during the Second World War. - Brian Bertosa, Independent Researcher (Canadian Military History, Vol 27, Issue 2) Somewhat ironically given the book's title, Zombie Army is a very human story about the Canadian World War II experience. It deserves a prominent place in both libraries and university classrooms. - Adam Montgomery, Independent Scholar (Canadian Journal of History, Volume 52, Number 2) Since it illustrates a topic that could not have been written in earlier decades, there is much for the Second World War historian to learn from Zombie Army. - Robert Engen, Royal Military College of Canada (The Canadian Historical Review, Volume 98, Number 4) Zombie Army adds yet another important study to the large codex of Canadian Second World War literature, adding new life to a topic that has not been investigated in detail for many years. - Major Andrew B. Godefroy, CD, PhD, jrcsp, Army Lessons Learned Centre (Canadian Army Journal, 17.2) Byers provides us with an impeccably researched look at the daily grind of these soldiers, the way they were perceived by the local populations, their ethnic composition, or where and how they served. - François Charbonneau, University of Ottawa (The British Journal of Canadian Studies, Volume 31, Number 1) Zombie Army tells the whole arresting story with an even hand and smart commentary. The work is as compelling as the subject. - Holly Doan (Blacklock's Reporter, February 2017)
