Fighting for Canada

Seven Battles, 1758-1945

Edición de la obra Fighting for Canada

"It is a popular but untrue myth that Canada is a peaceable kingdom and Canadians are an unmilitary people. Canada was created through armed conflict, or the threat of such conflict, and throughout their history Canadians have proved themselves to be a more warlike people than some would like to believe." "Fighting for Canada is a study of seven battles fought either to defend Canada or by Canadian soldiers overseas on behalf of their nation. The work of six professional military historians (four of them combat arms officers), Fighting for Canada emphasizes the tactical level of war -- the sharp end of the business where soldiers kill and are killed, and where personal leadership, training and experience are of paramount importance. In scale, intensity and result, the actions examined in Fighting for Canada vary widely. Book jacket."--Jacket.
