Patrick H. Brennan is associate professor emeritus and fellow of the Centre for Military, Strategic, and Security Studies at the University of Calgary. He has authored numerous chapters and articles on Canadian military history and is the author of Reporting the Nation's Business: Press-Government Relations During the Liberal Years, 1935-57.
Brennan . . . sets out his aim: to detail the King's Own Calgary Regiment's actions in war and its survival in peacetime, to note the leaders, the followers, the brave, and the rank and file, but also to broaden the story to show the connections of the soldiers to their hometowns and their families that flowed back and forth. Many other regimental histories have tried to do this, but none have done it so well.--J.L. Granatstein, Literary Review of Canada
