This secondary source is critical essay that focuses on comparisons between "The Last of the Crazy People", "Lemonade", "The Wars", and other short stories that have all been written by Timothy Findley. The essay compares the theme of warfare and militia between the works. Throughout the essay, York establishes a connection between three of Findley's works, "Wars", "Lemonade", and "The Wars". The subject of the short story War, is not military war but rather domestic warfare caused by a father's decision to go to war. (York) Domestic warfare is also shown in Findley's fictional work The Wars, as Robert Ross finalizes his decision on joining the forces after his sisters death, which causes a sense of domestic warfare between him and his family. York also relates the use of missiles in Wars, Lemonade, and The Wars, but these missiles are not explosive military missiles, but stones rather.
