4 books by Canadian military historian Tim Cook to read this Remembrance Day | CBC Books
Cook, the chief historian at the Canadian War Museum, died on Oct. 26. In his honour and that of Remembrance Day, here's a list of some of his books about Canadian military history.
We were touched that CBC shared a list of four books by Tim Cook to read this Remembrance Day. Tim Cook, who passed away October 26, was a prolific writer on Canadian military history, editor of our Studies in Canadian Military History series, and friend to all of us at UBC Press.

Cover of the book “Upholding Indigenous Economic Relationships: nehiyawak narratives” by Shalene Wuttunee Jobin. The book is on the ground which is covered in yellow fallen leaves.
Academic book rec! I was lucky to win a book of my choice from @ubcpress.bsky.social from a conference I attended, and this was my selection. Super insightful study of Cree economic relationships, demonstrated through interviews, language, history, and stories. Highly recommend!
