Canada at War - From the Archieve's of Macleans - Hardcover

Hardcover book in very good condition - minor bumping to ends of spine and sticker on inside of front cover. Dust jacket is very good condition with minimal wear and clipped bottom corner of front flap. Foreward by Major General Lewis Mackenzie. For nearly a century, Macleans has published Canada's finest writing on war. The stories collected here are about those Canadians who displayed extraordinary courage in battle, whether in the muddy trenches of the First World War or on the muddy hills of the former Yugoslavia. With writing on the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, the Gulf War, and peace-keeping missions in Cyprus, Somalia and the former Yugoslavia, the range of Canadian military activity reflected in this collection is astounding. Throughout, Canada's fighting men - and women - battled bravely on land, sea and in the air. And while warfare has undergone revolutionary changes from the trenches of the First World War to the hig-tech wizardry of the gulf War, these articles show that the experiences of the ordinary soldier remain surprisingly constant - and consistently extraordinary.
