Toronto: Dundurn Press, 1993. 184 pp, 8vo (8 7/8" H). B&w photographs, reproductions, maps. "(T)he individual chapters begin by setting the context of the battle in terms of the larger struggle of which it was a part. The reader is then taken onto the battlefield with an hour by hour account. A brief conclusion to each chapter assesses the consequences for the victor and the loser, assigning each battle its place in Canadian history. Not all the battles re-created in this volume were fought in Canada. Some of the conflicts took place in the United States, and there is also an account of the Canadian experience in Hong Kong in 1941."
