Description

Originally published in 1976, this book honours the centenary of The Royal Military College of Canada, 1876-1976.

It comprises nine essays written by military historians who have been or still are in some way, as staff and students, connected with RMC since 1948.

The essays range in time from the American invasion of Canada in 1775 to Hungary on the eve of the Second World War, and in place, from Upper Canada to the North West Frontier of India.

The theme running through the book is the problem of civil-military relations and how this has been faced in Canada in the nineteenth century, in the defence of India in the nineteenth century and in the First World War and post-war period in Great Britain and Hungary.
