Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a satirical and humorous account of the short-lived Civil Service Regiment, a unique military unit comprised of Canadian government officials that was formed in the late 19th century. The author uses a blend of poetry, prose, and dramatic dialogue to recount the regimentââ â¢s origins, training, and eventual disbandment. Through the voices of fictionalized characters, the book highlights the absurdity of the regimentââ â¢s existence, particularly its ill-preparedness for actual combat and the self-importance of its officers. The book also subtly critiques the political climate of the time, drawing attention to the perceived incompetence and frivolity of government officials. Through its witty and engaging style, the book offers a thought-provoking look at the dynamics of power, ambition, and societal expectations within a specific historical context.
