Ross Munroe is a celebrated Canadian war correspondent who covered major Canadian battles in ww2.
Establishing a good understanding of the Canadian Army in WW2 would be impossible without the wide range of information disclosed in this volume. A classic addition to any library of Canadian military history. The Author Ross Munroe is not writing this book from the perspective of a Historian who simply researched the battle from documents in an archives -he was actually there in the theatre as the battles were occurring. He was in the trenches, on the ships, in the battles as bullets and explosions and death and destruction was all around him. As you read the stories you have a sense of realism about what really happened. It is a very interesting perspective.
