Written by J.L. Granatstein, one of the country''s leading political and military historians, Canada''s Army traces the full three-hundred-year history of the Canadian military.

It includes new coverage of the War in Afghanistan; NATO deployments to Poland, Latvia, and Iraq; aid to the civil power deployments; and the role of the army reserve. Masterfully written and passionately argued, Canada''s Army offers a rich analysis of the political context for the battles and events that shape our understanding of the Canadian military.
