Lament for an Army: The Decline of Canadian Military Professionalism

In LAMENT FOR AN ARMY, Lt.-Col. English mourns the decline of the military professionalism that for almost half a century had ensured the honour of Canadian arms. The loss of this professionalism, he argues, is what has led to the unhappy state of the military today. In thoughtful, provocative, and searching language, Lt.-Col. English adds a strong voice to the discussion of the type of Canadian forces we need today and the nature of the military professionalism required to achieve them.
