Canada under attack

Summary: Canadians have been celebrated participants in numerous conflicts on foreign soil, but most Canadians are not aware that we have also had to defend themselves many times at home. The author brings to life the battles fought by Canadians to ensure the country's independence, from the almost ludicrous Pork 'n Beans War to the deadly War of 1812.
