1915

Two nations. One war. The headlines that shaped a continent.


1915 continues Melina Druga’s gripping chronicle of North America’s journey through the Great War, told through the headlines of the day.


As Europe descends deeper into conflict, Canadian soldiers face the horrors of Ypres and the birth of modern warfare, gas attacks, trench battles, and immense sacrifice. The United States remains officially neutral, its newspapers fiercely debating whether to intervene or stand apart. Through authentic reporting and first-hand accounts, Druga reveals how propaganda, patriotism and fear shaped public opinion across both nations.


From the battlefields of Ypres to the North American home front, 1915 offers a vivid portrait of the war’s unfolding events as told by those who lived them. Blending meticulous research with the voices of contemporary journalists, this book brings readers into the heart of a world at war and a continent divided in its response.


Perfect for readers of military history, media studies, and early 20th-century nonfiction, this compelling volume captures the transformation of Canada and the U.S. as World War I reshaped both nations and the world.
