Authored by researchers from the Vernon & District Family History Society, The Most Difficult of Our Camps: Vernon Internment Camp, 1914–1920 presents a comprehensive examination of Canada's First World War internment operations. The volume meticulously documents the experiences of over one thousand "enemy aliens"—including men, women, and children of Austro-Hungarian, German, and Ottoman descent—detained in British Columbia's interior. Utilizing archival photographs, official correspondence, and detailed biographical sketches, the authors illuminate daily life within the camp and its associated regional work projects. Ultimately, the text contributes a vital socio-historical perspective to the broader discourse on state-sponsored detention, civil liberties, and wartime governance in Canada
