Unlikely diplomats : the Canadian brigade in Germany, 1951-64
In 1951, Canada sent troops to western Europe to support its NATO allies. The brigade helped Canada establish its international status. In private, however, Canadian officials and military leaders expressed grave doubts about NATO's strategies and operational plans. Despite these reservations, they sent military families overseas and implemented personnel policies that permanently changed the distribution of the defence budget and the character of the Canadian Army. By exposing the hidden agendas that pushed NATO's members in different directions even as they presented a united front, this original account of the evolution of the Canadian Army - from a small training cadre to a truly national force - offers a new perspective on military policy and diplomacy in the Cold War era.

eBook
One of the Boys
Using a wide array of sources – including long-closed court martial records, psychiatric and personnel files, unit war diaries, films, and oral histories – Paul Jackson relates the struggle of queer servicemen of all ranks and branches of the Canadian military to fit in to avoid losing their careers and reputations. He argues that even though homosexual men were often accepted and popular within their units, if they were accused of homosexual behaviour, they were subjected to psychiatric assessments, courts-martial proceedings, prison terms, and dishonourable discharges. An influential and eye-opening study, the author has updated this critically acclaimed work with a new preface that considers depictions of soldiers serving in the war in Afghanistan and the continued silence about homosexual servicemen and women.
