Abstract: Historical overview of the Ukranian-Canadian experience of persecution during World War I under guise of the 'Austrian' threat; includes scans of POW documents and images of men in the internment camps. Covers 1914-1920 and includes some local references.

Notes: This copy is very special because it contains extra items which are copies of orginal letters to the author from the Minister of the Environment dated 1993, newspaper clippings, and photocopies of newspaper clippings, specifically mentioning Mary Haskett, as well as a signed letter to Ben Gadd from the author encouraging him to include the Ukranian story in his new book. This is important for regional history and especially valuable as the correspondence included in the book shows active discussion (at the time) of the injustice. May be of special interest to those with an interest in the current Ukranian-Russian conflict.; New editions are re-titled as - 'Without just cause : Canada's first national internment operations and the Ukrainian Canadians, 1914-1920'; Ben Gadd Personal Library
