What is The Rcn In Transition, 1910-1985 about?
This book is about the life of a navy, going back to its roots in the nineteenth century and looking ahead to its prospects in the twentyfirst. The RCN is portrayed as a resilient institution, often starved for resources, capable of basic change, and on the brink of important new developments. Leading naval historians and defence policy specialists record Canada's naval problems, the navy's pragmatic search for solutions, and its future potential. The essays contain much new or little-known material and open up areas of discussion that will be of fundamental importance in the critical years to come. No other book places the navy's most recent problems in a comprehensive historical perspective. Those problems include unification-a unique Canadian experience.
