Description:It was from a turbulent, see-saw atmosphere that Canada, not by any means a military country, was drawn into the first war of the 20th century – an episode that set in motion the sequence of events that was to lead her into two World Wars as well as a number of minor ones. The fascinating history of the Canadian armed forces is here recounted by Mike Chappell, with numerous contemporary photographs and eight full page colour plates by the author himself.
