Toronto: McGraw-Hill Ryerson, 1994. "In Corvettes Canada, I have tried to create a layman's history of these warships. I follow our corvettes from start to finish and go beyond the crucial North Atlantic convoy escort role to explore their many other theaters of operations and duties. The result is a book that relates some of the experiences of more than 250 men in some 50 corvettes". (taken in part from the introduction by the author). 310 pp includes bibliography and index.

It is the story of the 123 corvettes they sailed. It is the story of how people's lives were touched by war, so it is a tale of drama, adventure, humour and death. And in many ways the corvette story is an analogy for Canada as a whole: unprepared for war, committed to a cause, bloodied in battle - and ultimately triumphant."
