Loyal service : perspectives on French-Canadian military leaders / edited by Colonel Bernd Horn and Dr. Roch Legault ; foreword by Lieutenant-General J.H.P.M. Caron.: D2-192/2007E-PDF

"Key to the success of the French-Canadian legacy of military competency and proficiency is the presence of strong leadership. In essence, that is exactly what this book, Loyal Service: Perspectives on French-Canadian Military Leaders, examines. It is a collection of essays focused on French-Canadian military leaders throughout the history of our great country. It covers the entire spectrum from the practitioners of la petite guerre during the struggle for New France, to the colonial period, the two world wars, and the Cold War. Although it covers only a fraction of the great French-Canadian military leaders, it is an important starting point"--Foreword, pages 7-8.
