A War of Patrols : Canadian Army Operations in Korea by William Johnston
Impeccably researched and analytical, this comprehensive account of the Canadian campaign in the Korean War provides the first detailed study of the training, leadership, operations, and tactics of the brigade under each of its three wartime commanders.
“A War of Patrols will become the standard work on the subject of the Korean war., Johnston has done a mountain of work in the primary sources and has a complete command of the secondary literature as well. This is scholarship at its best.” – Marc Milner, author of Canada’s Navy: The First Century
“This is far and away the most valuable study of the Canadians in Korea. Johnston’s work has the depth of archival research characteristic of the best official historians, while his iconoclastic, analytical approach yields new insights and new ways of looking at old questions. There will be considerable interest in this book in the United States, Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as Canada.” – Terry Copp, author of Fields of Fire: The Canadians in Normandy
