Book Synopsis The Halifax Explosion and the Royal Canadian Navy by : John Griffith Armstrong
Book excerpt: Tapping into dusty national archives, a retired career officer who taught history at the Royal Military College of Canada analyzes a landmark, yet little studied, event in Canadian history. Armstrong chronicles a classic case of government bungling and cover-up following the 1917 collision of two Allied warships in Halifax Harbor, which killed some 1,600 persons and razed much of the city. Includes maps and photographs. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
