Forging A Nation offers a collection of essays on the development of the Canadian military experience. For more than two centuries, Canadians have taken up arms to defend the nation and our national ideals, to support our allies and to bring peace in other parts of the world. This book offers an important commentary on these actions, and the way our military experience has shaped our country's national and international identity.The essays are organized into four distinct eras: Part I covers the colonial period, from early contact with the First Nations to Canada's participation in the American Civil War and the Boer War. Part II studies the impact of the two world wars on Canada in terms of mobilization, industrial development and operational strategies. The third section examines the notion of national security from a Canadian context, identifies the distinctly Canadian style of warfare and national defence issues. Part IV explores Canada's role in international spheres-alliance relationships, Cold War participation, involvement in other areas of the globe, and includes a penetrating appraisal of our peacekeeping heritage.
