"From before Confederation to the outbreak of the Second World War, the Canadian army fought to establish itself as a professional fighting force - to persuade successive governments that the advice on defence matters tendered by senior officers was expert and credible, and to enjoy the influence and status such a position entails. In this account of the army's struggle during those decades, Stephen Harris concludes that these efforts, for the most part, failed". Book about Sam Hughes.
