Beginning with the Battle of Lake Champlain in 1609 and ending with the second Battle of Panjwaye in 2006 (part of the war in Afghanistan), Great Canadian Battles features conflicts in Canada and abroad.

Battles Include: - Quebec, 1775The New Year's Eve assault, fought during a blizzard, that marked the final attempt to capture the fortified city. - Cut Knife, 1885The brilliant victory of Poundmaker over the united forces of the North-West Mounted Police, Canadian Army and local militias.- The Somme, 1916The horrific battle in which tanks were deployed for the first time."--|cProvided by publisher 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 War. 650 0 Battles. 650 2 Armed Conflicts. 650 7 battles.|2aat 650 7 Battles.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00828915 650 7 War.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01170328 651 0 Canada|xHistory, Military. 651 7 Canada.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204310 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHumphreys, Edward.|tGreat Canadian battles.|dLondon : Arcturus, 2012|z9781841939629 |w(OCoLC)946754628 914 on1253749228 947 MARCIVE Processed 2023/08/03 994 92|bGTK
