The Admirals: Canada's Senior Naval Leadership in the Twentieth CenturyRichard Howard Gimblett, Peter Trevor Haydon, Michael Jeffrey Whitby Dundurn, 21 jan 2006 - 414 pagina's The Admirals: Canada's Senior Naval Leadership in the Twentieth Century fills an important void in the history of Canada's navy. Those who carry the burden of high command have a critical niche in not only guiding the day-to-day concerns of running an armed service but in ensuring that it is ready to face the challenges of the future. Canada's leading naval historians present analytical articles on the officers who led the navy from its foundation in 1910 to the unification in 1968. Six former Maritime Commanders provide personal reflections on command. The result is a valuable biographical compendium for anyone interested in the history of the Canadian Navy, the Canadian Forces, or military and naval leadership in general. |
