12:00 – Today marks 75 years since Japan’s surrender to the Allied forces, marking the end of the Second World War, the bloodiest conflict in human history. According to Cook’s new book ‘The Fight for History: 75 Years of Forgetting, Remembering and Remaking Canada’s Second World War,’ Canada’s war effort was depicted as a series of disasters by the end of the 20th century, while memory overlooked Canada’s crucial role in the Battle of the Atlantic, the air war against Germany, and the successes in Italy. Cook says no other nation remade its victories into defeats in a bizarre quirk of public opinion, and joins Gormley to discuss how Canadian perceptions of the war have changed since that fateful day in 1945.
