Synopsis

From the North-West Campaign of the late 19th century to the UN missions of the late 20th century, from the heights of glory to the depths of indifference on the part of politicians and the public, through two world wars and unification of the Forces, this third and final volume covers more than a century of armed services history. The author has painstakingly researched documents and personal accounts to trace the evolution of the Canadian Forces to their current highly professional status, and to describe the commitment of the men and women who serve their country around the world - men and women whose sole objective, at the dawn of a new century and millennium, is peace.

An original, creative design as well as a large number of color illustrations, photographs taken in the field and reproductions of military uniforms make this volume an artistic treasure as well as a unique history book and valuable reference.
