The Admirals: Canada's Senior Naval Leadership in the Twentieth
Century fills an important void in the history of Canada's navy. Those
who carry the burden of high command have a critical niche in not only
guiding the day-to-day concerns of running an armed service but in
ensuring that it is ready to face the challenges of the future. Canada's
leading naval historians present analytical articles on the officers who
led the navy from its foundation in 1910 to the unification in 1968. Six
former Maritime Commanders provide personal reflections on command. The
result is a valuable biographical compendium for anyone interested in
the history of the Canadian Navy, the Canadian Forces, or military and
naval leadership in general.
