Canada's Wars

Canada has fought in many wars, and the war in Afghanistan has brought young people a new awareness of their terrible cost. Canada's Wars is a timely history of the honourable effort that has led Canadians to fight for freedom on foreign soil.

From the Nile Expedition of 1884 and Canada's major participation in two World Wars to the vital role Canada played with UN forces in Korea and in peacekeeping operations, Canada's Wars is the stirring account of Canadian military engagements on land, on sea, an din the air.

Canada's Wars balances an overview of the wars with detailed stories of combat and the home front, and of individuals both well-known and unsung.

The gripping narrative, combined with stunning photographs and paintings, archival posters and artifacts, vividly brings Canada's military history to life. Readers of all ages will be left with a renewed appreciation of the valour, sense of duty, and selflessness of the Canadian who fought and died for their country.
