Table of ContentsReviewsIn writing an excellent work of history, Montgomery has done a public service by connecting developments over more than a century, from the time of shell shock to that of battle exhaustion and then to post-traumatic stress disorder and its Canadian military variant of operational stress injury. It has been said that in the 1990s the Canadian people were at peace but the Canadian forces were at war. The searing Croatia inquiry showed this to be true, and Montgomery has used the moving testimonies given at the inquiry to great advantage. One of the many strengths of this book is that it brings to the fore names that will have a secure place in the annals of Canadian military history - in particular those of Rome o Dallaire, Joe Sharpe, Greg Passey, and Ste phane Grenier. Peter Neary, University of Western Ontario From the opening chapter of The Invisible Injured, Adam Montgomery draws you in on a journey that has never (and I mean never) before been undertaken, certainly not in a Canadian context. Montgomery is a gifted writer who wields myriad academic details a Montgomery carefully illustrates how the Canadian public's perception of the military (and, to a certain degree, the public's perception of itself, or of our national identity) evolved in a kind of lockstep with what our troops were doing overseas at a given time, and what kind of burdens they were coming home with.
