The Canadian Rangers : A Living History Paperback / softback
by P. Whitney Lackenbauer
Part of the Studies in Canadian Military History series
Paperback / softback
Description
The Canadian Rangers stand sentinel in the farthest reaches of our country.
For more than six decades, this dedicated group of citizen-soldiers has quietly served as Canada’s eyes, ears, and voice in isolated coastal and northern communities from coast to coast to coast. How does this minimally trained and lightly equipped force make a meaningful contribution to national defence and to building sustainable communities?
One of Canada’s leading experts on northern issues answers this question using official records, extensive interviews, and on-the-ground participation in Ranger exercises.
In this meticulously researched history, Lackenbauer reveals why the Rangers have evolved into a flexible, inexpensive, and culturally inclusive way to promote sovereignty, security, safety, and stewardship.
This unique organization reflects a successful partnership between the modern state and residents of remote communities, a partnership rooted in local knowledge and crosscultural understanding.
