Hi there,
I am just starting to take an active interest in military literature, I wanted a book in which i could read and start to get a grasp on the history of the Canadian Army. I found just the book, "Canada's Army, waging war and keeping the peace" by J.L. Granatstein was perfect, it gave me a very good overview of the history of the army in 428 pages, it also includes roughly 20 black and white photos from different deployments, and also has very nice maps of different battles showing the objectives and what took place, i find this very handy to have as when i am reading the descriptions of the battles i can always refer to the maps and get the visual in my head to process. A very good read and i defintly recommend checking this book out!
