    Amazing Stories: Unsung Heroes of the RCN

    $9.99

    At the outbreak of World War II, the Royal Canadian Navy consisted of just 13 warships and about 3000 permanent and reserve members.

    By the war’s end, it had grown into the third largest navy in the world, with 365 warships and more than 100,000 personnel. The men and women of the Royal Canadian Navy came from all corners of Canada to fight in the sea war against the enemy. Together, they exceeded even the highest expectations of their allies.

    Spies in Our Midst: The Incredible Story of Igor Gouzenko, Cold War Spy

    $9.99

    Igor Gouzenko was a former clerk in the Soviet embassy in Ottawa who defected to the West in 1945.

    His story was so astounding that, at first, no one believed him. But the evidence he smuggled from the embassy eventually led to the arrest of a large Soviet spy ring in Canada, and sent Gouzenko into hiding for the rest of his life.

    His revelations reverberated throughout the world and ignited the Cold War.
