An Illustrated History
by Jonathan Webb
Foreward by J.L. Granatstein
Canadians sometimes forget the grim and glorious role that their soldiers, sailors, and aircrews have played in the world. They think of them as peacekeepers, not warriors. But they were warriors at first.
Of course, Canadians have played a vital role as peacekeepers, too. They have shown that it takes a soldier’s discipline, courage, and presence of mind to stand between warring armies.
Canada’s military men and women are among the best in the world. They are skilful, resourceful, determined, loyal, and willing to die for what they believe in. We should never forget how much they are owed.
