Böcker av J.L. Granatstein

In this revised and updated third edition, one of Canada's leading historians covers the history of the Canadian military to the present day.

This essay collection traces the sustained work over the past fifty years of the foremost historian of Canadian politics in the era of the two world wars.

The senior Canadian officers of the Second World War learned how to fight a war on the job; for all of them, the weight of command was a burden to be borne.

As Canadians continue to argue with each other about the benefits of a cosier relationship with out American cousins, Granatstein provides a salutary reminder that the historical roots of the debate stretch not only across the forty-ninth parallel but back across the Atlantic too.
