Betrayed reveals the true story behind the dismissal: a divisive power struggle between two elite groups within the RCN pitted the navy's regular officers against a small group of self-appointed spokesmen for the voluntary naval reserve. Threats of public scandal, mass insurrection, and political intimidation caused one of the worst breakdowns in Canadian civil-military relations, revealing complex aspects of military professionalism and leadership. This fascinating investigation into the machinations of a divided navy tackles important questions of military professionalism, leadership, and identity. Betrayed will appeal to readers interested in military history and security studies, political science, and sociology.Studies in Canadian military history ;12.AdmiralsDismissal ofCanadaHistory20th centuryCivil-military relationsCanadaHistory20th centuryWorld War, 1939-1945Naval operations, CanadianAdmiralsDismissal ofHistoryCivil-military relationsHistoryWorld War, 1939-1945Naval operations, Canadian.359.3/3041097109044Mayne Richard O(Richard Oliver),1971-1712097MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811389103321Betrayed4103961UNINA
