Summary:
"General Bernard Law Montgomery, affectionately known as '
Monty
,' exerted a more lasting military influence on the
Canadian
Army
than any other Second World War commander. In 1942 he assumed responsibility for the exercise and training of
Canadian
formations in England, and by the end of the war Canada's field
army
was second to none in the practical exercise of combined arms. In
Monty
and the
Canadian
Army
, John A. English analysis the way Montgomery's operational influence continued to permeate the
Canadian
Army
. For years, the
Canadian
Army
remained a highly professional force largely because it was commanded by "
Monty
men," found at almost every lower level of
army
command, who were steeped in the Montgomery method. The era of the
Canadian
Army
headed by such men ceased with the integration and unification of Canada's armed forces in 1964. The embrace of Montgomery by
Canadian
soldiers stands in marked contrast to negative perceptions by Americans, only a few of whom have viewed him in a favorable light.
Monty
and the
Canadian
Army
aims to correct such perceptions, which are mostly superficial and more often than not wrong, and addresses the anomaly of how this gifted general, one of the greatest field commanders of World War Two, managed to win over other North American troops."--Publisher.
