"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

My books if any queries:
  1. Lance Goddard: D-Day Juno Beach - Canada's 24 Hours of Destiny
  2. Terry Copp: Fields of Fire - The Canadians in Normandy
  3. Ted Barris: JUNO - Canadians at D-Day June 6, 1944
  4. Blake Heathcote: Testaments of Honour - Personal Histories of Canada's War Veterans
  5. Blake Heathcote: A Soldier's View - Personal Photographs of Canadians At War 1939-1945

Also I can suggest for good short stories of Canada's role in past and present wars, the on-line version of our Legion Magazine.

Legion Magazine

My favourite of that is the series on the VC winners. I have the print copies if anyone is interested in that topic and needs information.
