This Corps history properly traces the history of Canada's Armoured history forward from its roots in the country's small body of horsed cavalry. The text is reasoned and covers the Corps up to 2000 CE. There is an adequate number of maps and a good selection of photographs and war art especially for WWII. The peace-keeping and NATO participation is also covered in detail. This is a valuable addition to the corpus of Canadian Military history.
