About This Item
Ottawa: Canadian War Museum, 2000. Book. Illus. by Johnson, Christopher. Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 446 pages. Index. Glossary. Profusely illustrated in colour and black and white. "While the modern history of the Corps clearly begins with its official formation in the early days of the Second World War, its roots in the Canadian militia cavalry go back more than 180 years. Many histories have recorded the heritage of individual units, but most are no longer available and they focus on the deeds of their own members. The broader history of the mobile arm of the Canadian Army and of its action as a whole has never been told." - from dust jacket which is now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart cover. Apparently a former library copy but the only indications of this are bits of writing atop illustrated front free endpaper and security device affixed inside back board. Moderate wear. Modest lean to spine. A sound copy of this excellent history..
