Responding to a United Nations' call to assist the South Korean regime, Canada deployed an 8000-man brigade to the peninsula to fight as part of an American-led UN force. This comprehensive account of the Canadian campaign in Korea provides the first detailed study of the training, leadership, operations, and tactics of the brigade under each of its three wartime commanders as well as its relationship with American and Commonwealth allies. An impeccably researched analytical history, the book examines the uneven performance of the various Canadian units and argues that the soldiers of the "Special Force" initially sent to Korea were more thorough and professional in their operations than were the army's regular battalions that eventually replaced them at the front.Studies in Canadian military history.Korean War, 1950-1953Participation, CanadianKorean War, 1950-1953Participation, Canadian.951.904/24/0971Johnston William Cameron1956-1716309Canadian War Museum.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813935803321A war of patrols4111565UNINA
