About this product
Product Information
"It's rare for a book to capture your attention from the very first sentence, but kudos to the authors of First Canadian Army for doing just that... I, too, feel that Canada's contributions to victory in both world wars have unfortunately been downplayed or ignored over the decades by the country's allies." -- Canada's History Magazine A pictorial history of the decisive role played by Canada in the final year of World War II. After Dunkirk, as the tattered remnants of Britain's best troops returned home without their heavy weapons, Canadian troops moved in to defend northwest Europe, sending in virtually all of its disposable weapon resources and 368,000 soldiers. The majority of these were to be part of the First Canadian Army, which would play a key role leading to the unconditional surrender by Nazi Germany on May 9, 1945. This book is a pictorial history of the First Canadian Army in northwest Europe during the final year of the war. It concentrates not just on the events of 75 years ago but also what can be seen on the ground today. The illustrations, over 350 of them, include battle, landing and assault maps; photographs of soldiers in action and resting, aerial photographs of key sites of action then and now; battlefield survivors such as Sherman tanks; memorials to individuals and units; and, of course, the cemeteries of Canadian, Polish and British soldiers. In 10 parts and 60 chapters featuring 350 illustrations and maps, the book covers: The Bridgehead The Battles Around Caen Clearing the Coast Clearing the Scheldt Winter on the Maas The Rhineland Advance to the Sea I Corps in the West Netherlands The German Surrender. Military history buffs will enjoy this book for its focus on a specific battalion and its actions at a decisive moment in the war. The archival photographs are important records and reminders of this watershed moment in World War II's European theater.

Reviews
The authors have the story of the First Canadian Army through the days of European liberation, where they were frequently in the thick of the fighting and giving a good account of themselves. By printing in full colour, the publisher has been able to embed a selection of images in full colour and in black and white as available. Very Highly Recommended., It's rare for a book to capture your attention from the very first sentence, but kudos to the authors of First Canadian Army for doing just that... I, too, feel that Canada's contributions to victory in both world wars have unfortuantely been downplayed or ignored over the decades by the country's allies... The authors searched through several regional and national archives, resulting in their book featuring a host of black-and-white and colour photographs... The co-authors also include plenty of maps to help readers make sense of the battles. Each chapter begins with a short introduction that is followed by extended photo captions that enhance the information contained in the images.
