In this revised and updated third edition, one of Canada's leading historians covers the history of the Canadian military to the present day.

Written by J.L. Granatstein, one of the country's leading political and military historians, Canada's Army traces the full three-hundred-year history of the Canadian military. This thoroughly revised third edition brings Granatstein’s work up to date with fresh material and new scholarship on the evolving role of the military in Canadian society. It includes new coverage of the War in Afghanistan; NATO deployments to Poland, Latvia, and Iraq; aid to the civil power deployments; and the role of the army reserve. Masterfully written and passionately argued, Canada's Army offers a rich analysis of the political context for the battles and events that shape our understanding of the Canadian military.

J.L. Granatstein is the former director and CEO of the Canadian War Museum and a distinguished research professor emeritus of history. He is an award-winning author of more than sixty books on Canadian political and military history, the recipient of numerous honorary degrees, and an Officer of the Order of Canada.
