From an on-line posting: "Between the world wars, the Canadian defence quarterly ( CDQ) published articles, often thoughtful and well reasoned, by officers who would become generals during the Second World War. With the integration of the armed forces in 1965, service journals were replaced by the Canadian Forces sentinel, which became just Sentinel, Sentinelle in French, in 1973. Again, there was a requirement for a journal for serious articles by serving officers and defence critics. Canadian defence quarterly = Revue canadienne de défense was consciously modelled upon the inter-war Canadian defence quarterly, published by a private company with a healthy National Defence financial supplement and an editorial board stocked with serving officers and defence officials. the CDQ finally suspended publication in 1998. Sentinel and Sentinelle had already fallen victim to defence cuts in 1994. Condition: Good. No dust jacket. Ex-library. Usual Library markings. Ex-U.S. Army Chemical Warfare Laboratory. Index page and several other pages repaired at edges with tape.
