Canada's Navy

'A focused and consolidated history, Milner has achieved a great accomplishment with this much-needed addition and upgrade to the history of the Canadian Navy.' ~Todd Jerry, H-Canada, September 2010

‘Milner’s book is an essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the broader question of Canadian defense politics… He has opened up the door for a much more sophisticated and nuanced understanding of the nexus of Canadian politics, national interest, and sea power.’

~Rob Huebert, War in History vol 20:02:2013

'Milner's book ... will serve for many as the navy's "official history." ' ~John D. Harbron, Globe and Mail

'[Canada's Navy] will long remain the standard account of how the Canadian navy was created, developed, and used ... Marked by breadth of learning, masterly analysis, and a generous scholarship, it is a model and an inspiration. Canadians, and naval historians around the world, are once again in Milner's debt.' ~Andrew Lambert, The International History Review

'Marc Milner is one of the soundest counsels in Canadian military history.' ~Roger Marsters, Atlantic Books Today
