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.This book is a study of seven battles fought either to defend Canada or by Canadian soldiers oversears on behalf of their nation. The work of six professional military historians (four of them combat arms officers), Fighting for Canada emphsizes 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 imporatnce. In scale, intensity and result, the actions examined in this book vary widely and include: Through these fascinating, detailed studies, the reader sees the development of warfare from the musket period to the grim horrors of the two world wars. Edited and with introduction and linking passages by popular military historian Donald E. Graves, this book will appeal to any reader interested in military history, the nature of combat and the meaning of courage. Details:
