1917: A Novel of the Great War Tapa blanda - 2016

Former television news reporter and anchor Al McGregor has more than thirty years of experience working for major television stations across Ontario, Canada. In 1998 he formed his own company, providing broadcast and communication services. When the company branched into educational documentaries, projects on Tecumseh and the War of 1812 peaked his interest in how the same events were portrayed on both sides of the US/Canada border.

McGregor published his first book, A Porous Border, in 2012, with To Build a Northern Nation following in 2014. Both novels were historical fiction, exploring the links between events in Canada and the United States during the US Civil War and the journey toward the Canadian Confederation. 1917, A Novel of the Great War is a natural extension of this interest.

A father and grandfather, McGregor lives on a farm in southwestern Ontario. He regularly speaks and makes presentations based on his historical research.
