This lavishly illustrated book is the most impressive single-volume
history of the Canadian army yet published.
The book marches off from earliest origins, detailing Canada’s
militia roots during the French and Indian wars in the 17th century.
From then on, every page displays wondrous images of Canadians at war
across the years since (the lengthy catalogue of combat may surprise
anyone who cherishes the odd myth that we have never been a military
nation). This comprehensive account depicts domestic armed struggles to
save the nation when young; portrays our men off in foreign campaigns;
details Canada’s important role in two world wars; then shows how this
hard-won tradition of battle experience now serves Canadian troops so
well as peacekeepers.
