Winning hearts and minds is a vital part of military strategy and relies in large part on the effective management of how and what information is reported from the front. In this illuminating study, Timothy Balzer explores how the Canadian military developed and relied on public relations units to manage news during the Second World War.

The Politics of Procurement: Military Acquisition in Canada and the Sea King Helicopter
ISBN: 9780774817141 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Following its victory in the 1993 election, the first act of Jean Chretien's Liberal Party was the cancellation of an order to replace the Sea King maritime helicopter. The Liberals claimed the Tory plan was too expensive, but the cancellation itself actually cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. The incident and subsequent attempts to replace the Sea King have drawn public attention to inefficiency and waste in Canada's defence spending and to the under-equipped state of its military. Seeking an explanation for this situation, Aaron Plamondon explores the history of the...

Corps Commanders: Five British and Canadian Generals at War, 1939-45
ISBN: 9780774820905 / Angielski / Miękka / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The five British and Canadian generals depicted in Corps Commanders were a surprisingly eclectic lot - one a consummate actor, one a quiet gentleman, one a master bureaucrat, one a brainy sort with little will, and the last a brain with will to spare. And yet they all fit readily into British Commonwealth armies and fought their corps in similar fashion. All three Canadians controlled British formations and served under British army commanders, and the two Britons worked for and led Canadians as well. Such inter-army adjustments were relatively simple because they all spoke the same...

The resulting archaeological dig has proven crucial to our understanding of the siege of Fort...

Cold War Fighters: Canadian Aircraft Procurement, 1945-54
ISBN: 9780774821483 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The mysterious cancellation in 1959 of the CF-105 Arrow, Canada's state-of-the-art interceptor aircraft, holds such a strong grip on the imagination of Canadians that earlier developments in defence procurement remain in the shadows. Randall Wakelam corrects this oversight - and demystifies aspects of the AVRO saga - by weaving together a compelling account of high-level decision making and the daily activities of the military between 1945 and 1954, a decade when Canada's air force was expanding rapidly to meet the Soviet threat. During these years, the cabinet, chiefs of staff, and...

Sam Hughes: The Public Career of a Controversial Canadian, 1885-1916
ISBN: 9781554584819 / Angielski / Miękka / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is based on the public career of a highly controversial Canadian, Sam Hughes 1885-1916. He is one of the most colourful, even bizarre, figures in Canadian history. Though he died in 1921, his name can still conjure up controversy and not a little misunderstanding. His long career--in so many respects the quintessential story of a poor backwoods Ontario farm boy who made good by his own efforts--continues to exert a fascination that few other Canadian political figures could duplicate. Even though there has never been a major scholarly study of Sam Hughes,... This book is based on the public career of a highly controversial Canadian, Sam Hughes 1885-1916.

In April 1813 the Americans launched a new campaign to conquer Upper Canada, after their failure to do so in 1812. However, following initial victories, the U.S. assault stalled as a combined force of British regulars, Canadian militia, and Native allies counterattacked, throwing the Americans entirely onto the defensive by the end of June. During the next six months, this seesaw of military advantage was repeated again and again as each side escalated its commitment of men and resources and fought to...
