Charles Perry Stacey

Colonel Charles Perry Stacey was the official historian of the Canadian army during the Second World War. He held a doctorate in history from Princeton University where he taught before the war. An elegant writer, his four-volume account of the Second World War was recognized with the Governor General’s Award. After the war, he taught history at U of T and produced research which shed light on the poorly managed writing of the official history of the First World War.
