榮歸君國：香港戰役中的加拿大軍團
2015年，香港特區政府發表《人口政策：策略與措施》報告，統計自1980年以來，約有八十萬香港人移居外地，而加拿大是香港人熱門移民地點之一。兩地雖然隔着遼闊的太平洋，但早在十九世紀末已有頻繁的人員往來。第二次世界大戰讓兩地關係更為密切，成為命運共同體，因為兩地民眾要面對共同的敵人。1941年11月，接近二千名加拿大官兵，在羅遜准將帶領下乘船抵達香港，他們的任務是協助駐港英軍抵擋日軍。十八天激烈戰鬥，造成了二百九十名加拿大官兵陣亡，其中包括羅遜准將。今天，他們仍長眠於香港西灣國殤紀念墳場與赤柱軍人墳場。本書不只是重塑加拿大官兵如何被牽扯進香港戰役，更關注戰爭結束後生還的加拿大官兵的生活，從而闡述戰爭對軍人所造成的身體上和心理上的創傷。

Sisters of Heaven
In the late 1930s, as the world moved closer to war, three vivacious Chinese women defied gender perceptions by becoming pilots. Driven by a fierce independent spirit, they realized their dream of flying, completed barnstorming goodwill missions across the Western Hemisphere, and captured the imagination of all those whose lives they touched. They were Hilda Yan, once China's representative at the League of Nations; Li Xiaqing, known as film actress Li Dandan before becoming China's "First Woman of the Air"; and Jessie Zheng, the only commissioned female officer in the Chinese Air Force. In a story almost forgotten to history, Patti Gully's exhaustive research delves into the personal lives ...
Bibliographie de la Vie Militaire Au Canada, 1867-1995
Canadian military history and military matters have not been well represented in general in retrospective bibliographies of Canadian or in international military bibliographies. What has been attempted in this document is a bibliography of published primary sources and secondary works on Canadian military topics, excluding poetry and fiction, covering the period from Confederation to the present. Entries in the bibliography represent printed monographs, books and pamphlets, and serial titles. The prime criteria of inclusion were that the work be chiefly or uniquely both Canadian and military in its contents. Many in-house publications, of the training pamphlet or regulations type, have been included, but only insofar as they tell us something of the armed forces themselves, rather than details of tactical doctrine or of pieces of equipment. Works by or about Canadians serving with the armed forces of other countries have been included, as well as materials relating to the military history of Newfoundland since 1867.
