Reviews

'[An] immensely readable tour de force through the political and battlefield swamps of army history. '

- Ron Lowman, <em>Toronto Star</em>

'Compulsively readable . .. [Granatstein's] cogent arguments are more important now than they have been in years. '

- Marc Horton, <em>Edmonton Journal</em>

'Granatstein is, without doubt, one of Canada's pre-eminent military historians . .. [Should any] Canadian wish to become functionally knowledgable about our army, this book is an excellent place to start. '

- Steven Dieter, <em>Globe and Mail</em>

'Everyone who cares for and about Canada's army will be pleased with Granatstein's superb book. '

- Major Michael McNorgan, <em>Canadian Military Journal</em>
