War Without Battles
This history-sponsored by, worked on, and contributed to by members of the Brigade themselves-is based on previously classified archival research and over 100 interviews, including with British and German Commanders who worked with the Canadians. Particularly fascinating are details of NATO planning for meeting a Warsaw Pact attack, including how nuclear weapons would be used.
Replete with personal experiences, stories and anecdotes, it vividly describes what service life was like in Germany for Canadian soldiers, as well as their families. This includes living among the German citizenry and the mutual acculturation which ensued; the ever present possibility of war and the "Snowball" bugouts which kept attitudes and skills honed; the troops fanaticism with regard to brigade sports, especially hockey; and of course the never-ending training and Fallex's.
War Without Battles is both a superb historical accounting of a just ended era in Canadian military history as well as a fitting accolade to all who served in Canada's NATO Brigade. It deserves to be read by civilians and soldier alike.
