  Fighting for Canada: Seven Battles, 1758-1945
In fact, Canada was created through armed conflict, or the threat of such conflict, and throughout their history Canadians have proved themselves to be a far more warlike people than some would like to believe.
is a study of seven battles fought to defend Canada or by Canadian soldiers fighting overseas on behalf of their nation.
The work of six professional military historians (four of them combat arms officers), the emphasis throughout is on the tactical level of war ­ the sharp end of the business where soldiers kill and are killed, and where personal leadership, training and experience are of foremost importance.

 Amazon.com: To Go Upon Discovery: James Cook and Canada, from 1758 to 1779: Books: Victor Suthren
To Go Upon Discovery begins with Cook's arrival in Canada in 1758 and ends with his appointment to take Endeavour to the South Pacific.
In between these dates, we witness the siege of Louisbourg during the Seven Years' War, where Cook made his almost accidental discovery of the surveying techniques that distinguished him and gave him a prominent place in history.
But it was on the east coast of what would later become Canada that Cook transformed himself from a competent but undistinguished warrant officer into a masterly surveyor and cartographer.
