Description
The Influence of Monty on Canada's Military General Bernard Law Montgomery, known as "Monty," had a lasting impact on the Canadian Army during World War II. In 1942, he took charge of training and exercising Canadian formations in England, which helped shape the country's military into a highly professional force. This book examines how Montgomery's operational influence continued to affect the Canadian Army long after his time. The author reveals that the Canadian Army remained a top-notch force due to its adherence to Montgomery's methods, even after the integration of Canada's armed forces in 1964. By exploring this period in Canadian military history, Monty and the Canadian Army aims to correct misconceptions about Montgomery's legacy among North American troops. By shedding new light on this often-overlooked aspect of World War II history, Monty and the Canadian Army provides a fresh perspective on one of the war's most influential commanders.
