Canada's army : waging war and keeping the peace / J.L. Granatstein. by Granatstein, J. L. University of Toronto Press, 2021. Call #: 355.00971 G748c 2021 Subjects Canada. Canadian Armed Forces -- History.   Canada. Canadian Army -- History.   Canada -- History, Military. ISBN:  9781487509484 (pbk.) Alternate title:  Waging war and keeping the peace Edition:  3rd ed. Description:  580 p. : ill. ; 26 cm. Notes:  First edition published 2002; paperback edition (with new introduction) published 2004; second edition published 2011; reprinted 2016. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "Originally published in 2002, Canada's Army quickly became the definitive history of the Canadian military. In the twenty intervening years, we have seen major changes to how Canadians think about their military, and in the ways Canadians fight, train, and serve their nation in peace and in war. 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. This thoroughly revised third edition brings Granatstein's work up to date with fresh material and new scholarship on the evolving role of the military in Canadian society, along with updated sources, maps, and illustrations. It explores the military from its origins in New France to the Conquest, the Revolutionary War, and the War of 1812; from South Africa and the two World Wars to the Korean War and contemporary peacekeeping efforts. The third edition 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. Granatstein points to the inevitable continuation of armed conflict around the world and makes a compelling case for Canada to maintain properly equipped and professional armed forces. 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."--From publisher.
