Early comments on Relentless Struggle:
‘Canada’s military has been under-resourced for the last half-century, and the struggle for funding has embittered relations between the Army’s regulars and reservists. Champion recounts Reservists’ long battle to preserve their place and the creation of Reserves 2000 as their weapon. This is an essential book for everyone interested in Canada’s military history, present, and future.’ — J.L. Granatstein, Author of Who Killed the Canadian Military?
‘Required reading not only for students of Canadian military history, but for all those who have or will have a role in influencing the direction that the Army Reserve will take in the future.’ — LGen Paul F. Wynnyk, former Vice Chief of the Defence Staff
‘An excellent balance of both perspectives.’ — Col Howard G. Coombs, Royal Military College, Kingston
