About the Author :
David Roberts is a retired editor of the Dictionary of Canadian Biography/Dictionnaire biographique du Canada. In addition to writing many entries for the DCB, he is also the author of In the Shadow of Detroit: Gordon M. McGregor, Ford of Canada, and Motoropolis. He lives in Don Mills, Ontario.

Review :
"There has been an explosion of material on Canada and the war over the past decade, but the subject of finance, critical as it is, seems to either bore or intimidate most writers and scholars. Roberts, decided to take on this knotty problem, and we're all the winners for it." - Patrice Dutil (Literary Review of Canada) "Moving through each of the war loans with forensic care, Roberts gives readers an inside-the-vault examination of how Canada accomplished the near-impossible feat of raising hundreds of millions of dollars to pay for munitions, clothing, food, and soldiers' wages." - Ron Verzuh (Canada's History)
