Book Description
"... Christopher Kilford sets out to carefully examine how Canada became involved with the provision of military equipment, advice and training to armed forces throughout the developing world after 1945 ... impact that military assistance had in several 19th century countries and why later, in the 1960s, militaries were often viewed as the best means to encourage wider societal modernization while also preventing the spread of communism. This latter issue was a key reason why Ottawa found itself authorizing military assistance missions in the post-war period, until such efforts, at the urging of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, effectively dried up in the early 1970s."--from back cover.

Book Description
"Lac La Biche Chronicles: The Early Years, is a collection of stories, historical anecdotes, documents, photographs, and maps which tell something about the triumphs, the tragedies, the hardships, and the humour of human survival in Northeastern Alberta. It provides a general introduction to the history of Lac La Biche and its place in the wider context of Canadian history to the end of World War II. The Lac La Biche Chronicles: The Early Years was the inspiration of a long-time resident Michael Maccagno who held political positions as Town Councillor, Town Mayor, Alberta MLA and who in the 1980's held a position in the local college as "Historian in Residence." During that time, he established the local community archives and was instrumental in collecting most of the artefacts now on exhibit in the Lac La Biche Regional Museum & Discovery Centre. As Mr. Langford points out in the preface; Mr Maccagno was prompted to suggest a different book to be called "Lac La Biche Chronicles, intended to capture a number the interesting stories, photographs, critical events, unique character--the "historical vignettes" which have helped define, explain, and shape the evolution and development of the Lac La Biche Regional community." The Lac La Biche Chronicles Committee, along with all the community contributors turned his idea into reality."--
