American Military History Volume 1
American Military History provides the United States Army-in particular, its young officers, NCOs, and cadets-with a comprehensive but brief account of its past. The Center of Military History first published this work in 1956 as a textbook for senior ROTC courses. Since then it has gone through a number of updates and revisions, but the primary intent has remained the same. Support for military history education has always been a principal mission of the Center, and this new edition of an invaluable history furthers that purpose. The history of an active organization tends to expand rapidly as the organization grows larger and more complex. The period since the Vietnam War, at which point t...

Histoire de Montréal et de sa région
L'historien futur de la rue Notre-Dame devra me faire causer. Je lui fournirai des renseignements précieux, des souvenirs piquants (...) car la rue Notre-Dame se dépouille de sa vieille physionomie, la rue Notre-Dame des anciens jours s'en va rapidement. Elle n'est plus étroite et resserrée sur tout son parcours ; le chemin de fer urbain augmente le nombre des passants, trouble les conciliabules des flâneurs au coin des rues, et leur donne le scandale de la vitesse. (...) Que de souvenirs dans cet étroit espace, que de flâneurs y ont promené leur curiosité, leurs caprices, leurs ennuis. Demandez à vos grands-parents qui voguent dans les eaux de la soixantaine sous pavillon neutre, comme on y flânait autrefois, plus gaiement, plus familièrement qu'aujourd'hui. La ville n'avait alors qu'une rue, la rue Notre-Dame, il y avait une rivière dans la rue Craig ; on allait à la chasse rue Sherbrooke ; il fallait être armé jusqu'aux dents pour se risquer vers le Beaver Hall. L'été on faisait des parties de canots, de la Place-Viger au Griffintown ; on pouvait pêche à la ligne Placeà-Foin.
The Soldier and the State
In a classic work, Samuel P. Huntington challenges most of the old assumptions and ideas on the role of the military in society. Stressing the value of the military outlook for American national policy, Huntington has performed the distinctive task of developing a general theory of civil–military relations and subjecting it to rigorous historical analysis. Part One presents the general theory of the "military profession," the "military mind," and civilian control. Huntington analyzes the rise of the military profession in western Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and compares the civil–military relations of Germany and Japan between 1870 and 1945. Part Two describes the ...
Guy Frégault, 1918-1977
Les premiers chapitres, rédigés respectivement par André-J. Bélanger, Michel Brunet, Jean Ethier-Blais et Jean-Charles Falardeau, abordent différentes facettes de la vie et de l'oeuvre de l'historien: son ouverture au social, l'évolution de sa philosophie de l'histoire, ses relations avec le chanoine Groulx. René Dionne propose ensuite une lecture neuve de Frégault considéré en tant qu'"écrivain de l'âge de l'interrogation". Enfin, Noël Vallerand le présente dans sa dimension "haut fonctionnaire". Des coups de sonde éclairants. [SDM].
Watching Quebec
Evolving from a passionate desire to simply survive as a distinctive culture in the nineteenth and early twentieth century to a more confident and expansive ideology since the Second World War, nationalism in Quebec has provoked intense debates within the province and in the rest of Canada over language, provincial powers, and the very meaning of the term nation in the contemporary world. Watching Quebec examines the ideas of francophone individuals and groups, looks at their institutions and movements, and clarifies the complex relationship between French- and English-speaking Canadians.
