103 pages. Former owner's information upon half-title page. English Canada's reply to the so-called 'French Fact." Imagine the English Canadians finally having their say about Quebec! There's a chuckle on every page - more than one on many occasions - to help make some of the uglier facts more palatable. A perffect blend of humour and history, of laughter and of shock. Perhaps the first real attempt by English Canadians to say a strong 'phooey' to all the French unrest in Quebec. Accomplished with sophistication and wit... agree with it or not... you'll be entertained greatly and probably slightly educated at the same time. Book

270 pages. Through James Davis's eyes we see the real face of Canada's army: efficient, technologically advanced - sometimes brutal. The uncompromising opinions Davis has about the strengths and weaknesses of our present-day military are backed up by his own first-hand experience at "the sharp end" as a front-line soldier. Will interest not just military buffs but also those who want to understand the life-and-death pressures facing Canada's soldiers at home and abroad. "If Canadians really want to know what our soldiers faced in Bosnia, Rwanda and right here in Caada, Jim Davis delivers. Read him and think." - Desmond Morton. Book and dust jacket clean, bright and unmarked with very light wear. Excellent copy. Book

71 pages. A book concerned with the extra-military attempts - what the author calls the "behind-the-lines development" - commencing almost at the outset of the First World War, to bring about an end to the hostilities; or, at least, by frustrating further alliances (as between the Turks and the Germans), by disrupting the existing alliance between Germany and Austria, and by fomenting further, and capitalizing on existing, disorders in Russia to foreshorten appreciably the period of conflict...... That the war obscured the struggle between social classes that would in the future override all the issues that gave rise to the conflict was for the author a supreme irony." Published posthumously.
