BOOK REVIEWS

MilitaryHistory.ca, we recognize that understanding Canada’s rich military history requires not only keeping pace with the latest scholarship but also revisiting the foundational works that have shaped the field. Our book review section is dedicated to both of these aims, offering critical insights into recently published books while also re-examining the classics that remain essential to the study of Canada’s military past.

Each month, we will feature reviews of the newest releases, covering a broad range of topics from combat narratives to analyses of Canada’s role in global conflicts, military strategy, and the lives of the men and women who served. Alongside these reviews, our “Revisiting the Classics” segment will spotlight older, influential works—books that have stood the test of time and continue to provide valuable perspectives on Canada’s military heritage.

Whether you are a seasoned scholar, an enthusiast of military history, or simply curious about the stories that define Canada’s past, our reviews aim to guide, inform, and inspire. Join us as we explore the ever-expanding landscape of Canadian military literature, old and new.
