What are "The Top 10 Most Important Books of Canadian Military History"?  Find out which books are chosen by Canada's leading military historians in this article by well-known historian Tim Cook, published in Canadian Military History.





The ten military historians who agreed to be part of this exercise were: Douglas Delney, Serge Durflinger, J.L. Granatstein' Stephen J. harris, Andrew Iarocci, Peter MacLeod, Marc Milner, Desmond Morton, Beatrice Richard and Jonathan F. Vance.



The ten historians were given little guidance on how to define "important", other than a few brief suggestions that the books should have laid the foundation or framework of study for a field or subject matter; that the book added significant knowledge to our understanding of the past; that the book was innovative in its use of sources or methodology; and that the book has enduring value.



 

Tim Cook says, "I would argue that these books have laid the foundation for understanding our collective past."  Please see the link below for the full article.



 

Canadian Military History is published quarterly by the Laurier Centre for Military Strategic and Disarmament Studies, Wilfrid Laurier University.
