Softcover. Condizione: Near Fine. First Edition; First Printing. Stiff book in clean crisp covers, unmarked but for inscriptions signed by both Belliveau and Murray. ; 194 pages; This book is a detailed regimental history of the 32 (Moncton) Service Battalion, a Canadian Army Reserve logistics/support unit based in Moncton, New Brunswick. The provocative title "To Kill a Battalion" refers not to combat losses but to the repeated bureaucratic and political attempts over decades to disband, amalgamate, or drastically reduce the unit as part of various Canadian Forces reorganisations and budget cuts. Co-authored by Moncton historian and retired scientist Dr. Paul E. Belliveau (a passionate amateur military historian specialising in Maritime units) and J. Murray, the book traces the battalion's origins, evolution, and near-constant fight for survival. ; Signed by All Authors.
