It's a history book , of course and one which I believe acknowledges the American and English jingoisms. My favourite theme of Morton, however is his assertion that North Americans lost heavily in various wars until they learned to fight like Indians using terrain and surprise instead of massed attacks. One example was when the American infantry in Vietnam doggedly learned to fight in the countryside. I also picked up gems of the skirmishes between the Quebec French and what we used to call the Iroquois. A little light on the War of 1812 but as we know this is covered heavily by other authors.Swing Easy -30- ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Nonsense, says Desmond Morton. This is a country that has been shaped, divided, and transformed by war -- there is no greater influence in Canadian history, recent or remote. From the shrewd tactics of Canada's First Nations to our troubled involvement in Somalia, from the Plains of Abraham to the deserts of Afghanistan, Morton examines our centuries-old relationship to war and its consequences. This updated edition also includes a new chapter on Canada's place in the war on terrorism. A Military History of Canada is an engaging and informative chronicle of Canada at war, from one of the country's finest historians. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
