Sommaire:
From two of Canadaś pre-eminent historians comes a new collection of firsthand accounts from the frontlines of our military history. J.L. Granatstein and Norman Hillmer have drawn on the most vivid letters, diaries, and reportage from the Plains of Abraham and the Red River Rebellion to the battlefields of the two World Wars and Korea and on to the harrowing missions in Bosnia and Afghanistan to animate our past in the words of those who made the Canadian military experience. Immediate and absorbing, the selections in "Battle Lines" sweep across a host of captivating national moments in the trenches, on the sea, and in the air, as well as the home front. Granatstein and Hillmer have mined the countryś military heritage to bring us eyewitness accounts of events such as Wolfeś victory over Montcalm, the Fenian raids, the hell of Passchendaele, the D-Day landings, and the lives of Canadian peacekeepers over more than fifty years. Hear the stories from our peacekeepers in the Suez, Egypt, Cyprus, the Persian Gulf War, Somalia, Croatia, Rwanda, Kosovo, and Afghanistan.
