This is a very comprehensive history of Canada's military action beginning with first conflicts between the Vikings, French, English and the Indigenous peoples those first Europeans met when they to colonize northern North America. Then it examines early colonial wars where the English and French carried on their European battles in their colonies then moving on to the conflicts with the USA. Add the Boer War, WWI, Spanish Civil War, WW II, Korean War and finally Peace Keeping to make coverage complete.

Loaded with paintings, photographs and very detail maps on some of the campaigns. Excellent introduction to Canada's military history. ( )
