515j113713 Canadian Field Regiment RCA. Good. N.D. First Edition. Hardcover. "This story is written with two objects in mind; first that of providing the men who have served in the regiment with a memento of their army days; second that of recording accurately a history which will be of use in the future and which will place the artillery branch of the service in its recognized place." - Introduction. "Approximately seven hundred men from all walks of life united in a common cause lived in perfect harmony for about five years. When the battle came and men died we found with somewhat of a shock that it is possible to love another man. From the early days the regiment was a happy one. It went through difficult times but on the 6th day of June 1944 when the final test came all those who remember are proud of the gallant skillful and efficient work of the unit. Until the 8th of May 1945 with the exception of a few days the regiment was continuously in action. Without fear of contradiction I say that the men of this unit had no superiors. No history of this regiment could be complete without reference to "C" Troop of the 69th Battery 4th LAA Regiment RCA. From the early days of the invasion until the final knockout blow they lived and deployed with us." - Foreword. 12-185 pages. Nominal Rolls. Numerous black and white photos maps and cartoons.

200065829University of Toronto Press Scholarly Publishing Division. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2000. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 0802044131 . 6.31 X 1.61 X 9.24 inches; 456 pages; Alfred Valdmanis is best known in Canada for his infamous role in Premier Joey Smallwood's scheme to industrialize Newfoundland. A Latvian immigrant he was appointed Director General of Economic Development in 1950 with the understanding that through his connections to Europe he could entice German and Baltic industrialists to the isolated rural island. His influence was brought to an abrupt end when in 1954 he was charged with defrauding the government. The media latching on to his murky past and his possible affiliation with war criminals made him the scapegoat of Newfoundland's problems painting him as part comedian part sinister villain. This was not the first time his name was connected with controversial issues. Valdmanis's wily political manoeuvring is more the stuff of fiction than history. Between 1938 at age 29 and his ironic downfall in the safe haven of Canada he was a finance minister of pre-war Latvia a government official during the Soviet invasion a shrewd collaborator under the Nazi occupation then a friend to the Allies a spokesman for Latvian POW and displaced persons and an adviser to the government of Canada. In this first serious biography of Alfred Valdamis historian Gerhard Bassler casts the story of this political manipulator and chameleon in new terms: the often tragic consequences of the will to survive. .
