From its eighteenth-century roots in exploration and trade, to
the major conflicts of the First and Second World Wars, through to
current roles in multinational operations with United Nations and
NATO forces, Canada's navy - now celebrating its one hundredth
anniversary - has been an expression of Canadian nationhood and a
catalyst in the complex process of national unity.
In the second edition of Canada's Navy, Marc Milner brings his
classic work up to date and looks back at one hundred years of the
Navy in Canada. With supplementary photos, updated sources, a new
preface and epilogue, and an additional chapter on the Navy's
global reach from 1991 to 2010, this edition carries Canadian Naval
history into the twenty-first century. Milner brings effortless
prose and exacting attention to detail to his comprehensive and
accessible examination of this fascinating Canadian organization.
This much-needed update of Canada's Navy will continue to provoke
discussion about the past and future of the country's naval forces
and their evolving role in the interwoven issues of maritime
politics and economics, defence and strategy, and national and
foreign policy.
