Synopsis
A wide-ranging look at the history of the Canadian Navy, from its beginnings in 18th-century exploration and trade, to its astonishing expansion during the Second World War, through to its current roles in operations with United Nations and NATO forces., From its eighteenth-century roots in exploration and trade, to the major conflicts of the First and Second World Wars, through to current roles in multinational operations with United Nations and NATO forces, Canada's navy - now celebrating its one hundredth anniversary - has been an expression of Canadian nationhood and a catalyst in the complex process of national unity. In the second edition of Canada's Navy , Marc Milner brings his classic work up to date and looks back at one hundred years of the Navy in Canada. With supplementary photos, updated sources, a new preface and epilogue, and an additional chapter on the Navy's global reach from 1991 to 2010, this edition carries Canadian Naval history into the twenty-first century. Milner brings effortless prose and exacting attention to detail to his comprehensive and accessible examination of this fascinating Canadian organization. This much-needed update of Canada's Navy will continue to provoke discussion about the past and future of the country's naval forces and their evolving role in the interwoven issues of maritime politics and economics, defence and strategy, and national and foreign policy., From its eighteenth-century roots in exploration and trade, to the major conflicts of the First and Second World Wars, through to current roles in multinational operations with United Nations and NATO forces, Canada's navy - now celebrating its one hundredth anniversary - has been an expression of Canadian nationhood and a catalyst in the complex process of national unity.

Probs won't go to again, but this was a nice C+ transaction.The Katja Ser.: Katja from the Punk Band by Simon Logan (2010, Trade Paperback) (Nr. 386649529182)
- 0***a (4)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufFast shipping, item arrived a week ahead of schedule and in excellent condition, just as described. Very good value for this hard-to-find book. Shipping cost was reasonable considering large size of this book and its weight. Packaging ensured item arrived in perfect condition. I received multiple email updates with helpful tracking info. Very professional overall. Would gladly buy again from this seller.
- r***9 (454)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufArrived safely, luckily. Packaged ok but in used plastic bags in poor condition, and used card-board single sheet instead of a comic book mailer. I dont sell very often, so this might work for many sellers; however as a buyer just know that it is much easier to have comics damaged in the mail that way, so ask the seller about it if that matters to you. The seller gave me a slight discount for combined mailing, which is good for the costs involved. Overall still positive.
