ARMSTRONG, John Griffith, 2002. The Halifax Explosion and the Royal Canadian Navy. Inquiry and Intrigue. 256 pages, 16 photographs. Cloth, ISBN 0-7748-0890-X / 978-0-7748-0890-3; paper (2003), ISBN 0-7748-0891-8 / 978-0-7748-0891-0.
"...Armstrong reveals the navy's compelling, and little-known, story by carefully retracing the events preceding (this) disaster and the role of the military in its aftermath. He catches the pulse of disaster response in official Ottawa and provides a compelling analysis of the legal manoeuvres, rhetoric, blunders, public controversy, and crisis management that ensued..." www.ubcpress.ubc.ca
RICHTER, Andrew, 2002. Avoiding Armageddon. Canadian Military Strategy and Nuclear Weapons, 1950-1963. 224 pages. Cloth, ISBN 0-7748-0888-8 / 978-0-7748-0888-0; paper (2003), ISBN 0-7748-0889-6 / 978-0-7748-0889-7.
"Avoiding Armageddon is the first comprehensive, primary document-based analysis of the formative thinking that later developed into a major cornerstone of Canadian security policy. The author demonstrates a surpassing knowledge of the relevant literature from Canada, the United States, and elsewhere ... Written clearly and engagingly, [this] will be an extremely useful teaching supplement and research tool for those studying defence policy, as well as Canadian-American relations." Danford W. Middlemass, co-author of Canadian Defence: Decisions and Determinants, www.ubcpress.ubc.ca
JOHNSTON, William, 2003. A War of Patrols. Canadian Army Operations in Korea. 448 pages, illustrated, cloth, ISBN 0-7748-1008-4 / 978-0-7748-1008-1.
"This comprehensive account of the Canadian campaign in Korea provides the first detailed study of the training, leadership, operations, and tactics of the brigade under each of its three wartime commanders as well as its relationship with American and Commonwealth allies. An impeccably researched analytical history, the book examines the uneven performance of the various Canadian units and argues that the soldiers of the "Special Force" initially sent to Korea were more thorough and professional in their operations than were the army's regular battalions that eventually replaced them at the front." www.ubcpress.ubc.ca
GWYN, Julian, 2003. Frigates and Foremasts. The North American Squadron in Nova Scotia Waters 1745-1815. 224 pages. Cloth, ISBN 0-7748-0910-8 / 978-0-7748-0910-8; paper (2004), ISBN 0-7748-0911-6 / 978-0-7748-0911-5.
"The first comprehensive study of naval operations involving North American squadrons in Nova Scotia waters, Frigates and Foremasts offers a masterful analysis of the motives behind the deployment of Royal Navy vessels between 1745 and 1815, and the navy's role on the Western Atlantic." www.ubcpress.ubc.ca
KESHEN, Jeffrey, 2004. Saints, Sinners, and Soldiers. Canada's Second World War. 416 pages, 31 photos, 8 figures, ISBN 0-7748-0923-X / 978-0-7748-0923-8.
"Saints, Sinners, and Soldiers is an extraordinary look at how Canadians lived, loved, and worked on the home front during the Second World War. Keshen's massive research into the sources that other historians usually skip over has produced the single best study that we have of rapidly changing social values in a time of great crisis. Absolutely first-rate." J. L. Granatstein, www.ubcpress.ubc.ca
MORTON, Desmond, 2004. Fight or Pay. Soldiers' Families in the Great War. 326 pages, 20 illustrations, cloth, ISBN 0-7748-1108-0 / 978-0-7748-1108-8.
".Characterized by the brutality of trench warfare, the First World War is remembered largely for the immense sacrifice in life and limb of Canadian soldiers. In Fight or Pay, renowned historian Desmond Morton turns his eye to the stories of those who paid in lieu of fighting ─ wives, mothers, and families left behind when soldiers went off to war." www.ubcpress.ubc.ca

"I've been asked to host a TV documentary on outstanding, unconventional leader-generals from around the world. My choice for Canada? Bert Hoffmeister! Read The Soldiers' General and you will understand why." - Lewis MacKenzie, Oont, MSC, CD, Major General (ret'd), www.ubcpress.ubc.ca

".Commanding Canadians is the first comprehensive personal account ─British or Canadian─that covers the entire inshore anti-U-boat campaign in European waters during the Second World War. Rescued from the archives, the diary of Commander Arthur Layard affords the reader insights into the experiences of command at sea against German naval forces."www.ubcpress.ubc.ca
AUGER, Martin F., 2005. Prisoners of the Home Front. German POWs and “Enemy
Aliens” in Southern Quebec, 1940-46 . 240 pages, 8 tables, cloth,
