"Canada's Army Reservists have served alongside our regular full-time forces in Afghanistan and the Balkans, and at home in fire, flood, and ice storm. Tens of thousands of young Canadians have served and serve today in over 100 part-time Army Reserve units in cities and towns from sea to sea. Yet Canada's defence policies have rarely taken into account what the Army Reserve needs in order to survive and thrive - to recruit, train, sustain, and retain enough soldiers and leaders to be viable and effective in its military as well as civic and social roles. Using an extraordinary array of research materials and interviews at all levels, C. P. Champion tells the story of a well-organized citizen-led campaign from 1995 to the present day to protect and strengthen Canada's Army Reserve in the face of budget cuts, arbitrary restructuring, reinventing the wheel, and recurring neglect."--Back cover.
