Description

This is the story of the Canadian First Army that fought its way from Juno Beach to D-Day in June, 1944, through Normandy, into the Netherlands to liberate that country, to the terrible battles in the Scheldt area, and finally into Germany in 1945. The argument of this book is that the Canadian army changed from an amateur force in 1939-41 into the supremely skilled and formidably equipped army by late 1944 that was able to prevail against a first-class enemy. In fact, the citizen soldiers became professionals, able to organize and plan, to move and fight, and to win. Print run 8,000.
