The Kids Book of Canada at War

Despite its reputation as a peacekeeper, Canada actually has a long history of being involved in wars. In this book, Elizabeth MacLeod follows Canada’s war history from first contact between First Nations and Europeans up to the peacekeeping activities of today. You’ll learn about fur trade battles, French vs. British wars, the War of 1812 and World Wars I and II. Along the way there are lots of pictures, portraits, photographs, maps and interesting sidebars. This would be an excellent read just before Remembrance Day, or any other time. By the end, you’ll no doubt be grateful that there has not been a battle on Canadian soil for 124 years!
