Written by J.L. Granatstein, one of the country's leading political and military historians, Canada's Army traces the full three-hundred-year history of the Canadian military. This thoroughly revised third edition brings Granatstein’s work up to date with fresh material and new scholarship on the evolving role of the military in Canadian society. It includes new coverage of the War in Afghanistan; NATO deployments to Poland, Latvia, and Iraq; aid to the civil power deployments; and the role of the army reserve. Masterfully written and passionately argued, Canada's Army offers a rich analysis of the political context for the battles and events that shape our understanding of the Canadian military.

With a unique how-to appendix for Metis genealogical reconstruction, this book will be of interest to Metis wanting to research their own genealogy and to scholars engaged in the reconstruction of Metis ethnic identity. The search for a Metis identity and what constitutes that identity is a key issue facing many aboriginals of mixed ancestry today. This book reconstructs 250 years of the Desjarlais' family history across a substantial area of North America, from colonial Louisiana, the St. Louis, Missouri, region and the American Southwest to the Red River and central Alberta. In the course of tracing the Desjarlais family, social, economic and political factors influencing the development of various Aboriginal ethnic identities are discussed. With intriguing details about the Desjarlais family members, this book offers new, original insights into the 1885 Northwest Rebellion, focusing on kinship as a motivating factor in the outcome of events.

A lot about Al Holley was larger than life: his size 13 custom-made riding boots; how his surgical ability extended to animals as well as peop≤ his endless renditions of "You Are My Sunshine" on the harmonica—the only song he was able to play; and his love of riding a good horse on a bright fall day. Dr. Al Holley had a storyteller's ability to captivate an audience. First, he would clear his throat, then, with eyes twinkling, he would [begin]. His stories were often a reflection of Al himself and generally went to the very essence of people. He had the unique ability to laugh, not only at what life tossed up but also at himself. Al Holley was not a man who minced his words. What he said was what he thought, no more no less; even if at times he had to extract a foot out of his mouth at a later date. Medicine was only one part of his life. Among other things, Dr. Holley was a Justice of the Peace in the Northwest Territories, a cowboy, an author, a stagecoach driver and actor in Barkerville, a historian, an artist, a hunter, an explorer, a rodeo doctor, a dogmusher, a train robber, a lieutenant in the RCA Medical Corp, a husband, a father, and a grandfather." —Dr. Geoff Thomas

Canada’s Native people have inhabited this land since the Ice Age and were already accomplished traders, artisans, farmers, and marine hunters when Europeans first reached their shores. Contact between Natives and European explorers and settlers initially presented an unprecedented period of growth and opportunity. But the two vastly different cultures soon clashed. Arthur Ray charts the history of Canada’s Native people from first contact to current land claims. The result is a fascinating chronicle that spans 12,000 years and culminates in the headlines of today. In the preface to this new edition, Ray elaborates on the increasing effectiveness of Indigenous peoples and their leaders in bringing demands for justice to centre stage. He discusses recent court decisions, the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, and the hope for change following promises made by the new Trudeau government.

"Lac La Biche Chronicles: The Early Years, is a collection of stories, historical anecdotes, documents, photographs, and maps which tell something about the triumphs, the tragedies, the hardships, and the humour of human survival in Northeastern Alberta. It provides a general introduction to the history of Lac La Biche and its place in the wider context of Canadian history to the end of World War II. The Lac La Biche Chronicles: The Early Years was the inspiration of a long-time resident Michael Maccagno who held political positions as Town Councillor, Town Mayor, Alberta MLA and who in the 1980's held a position in the local college as "Historian in Residence." During that time, he established the local community archives and was instrumental in collecting most of the artefacts now on exhibit in the Lac La Biche Regional Museum & Discovery Centre. As Mr. Langford points out in the preface; Mr Maccagno was prompted to suggest a different book to be called "Lac La Biche Chronicles, intended to capture a number the interesting stories, photographs, critical events, unique character--the "historical vignettes" which have helped define, explain, and shape the evolution and development of the Lac La Biche Regional community." The Lac La Biche Chronicles Committee, along with all the community contributors turned his idea into reality."--
