Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. Second Printing. 270 pages. Through James Davis's eyes we see the real face of Canada's army: efficient, technologically advanced - sometimes brutal. The uncompromising opinions Davis has about the strengths and weaknesses of our present-day military are backed up by his own first-hand experience at "the sharp end" as a front-line soldier. Will interest not just military buffs but also those who want to understand the life-and-death pressures facing Canada's soldiers at home and abroad. "If Canadians really want to know what our soldiers faced in Bosnia, Rwanda and right here in Caada, Jim Davis delivers. Read him and think." - Desmond Morton. Book and dust jacket clean, bright and unmarked with very light wear. Excellent copy.
