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. Far from a daily chronicle, this remarkably
full and honest diary outlines Layard's thoughts on his daily life
and his naval career, including the strain and responsibility
associated with command at sea in wartime. As well as shedding
light on the inshore anti-submarine campaign, the diary also
discusses significant events, such as the invasions of North Africa
and Normandy and convoys to Russia; encounters with important
personalities; the sinking of submarines and his own command; and
the final surrender of German U-boats. A consummately
well-researched work, Commanding Canadians will appeal to both
naval scholars, as well as to general readers interested in
military history.
