On to Victory: The Canadian Liberation of the Netherlands, March 23 May 5, 1945 (Canadian Battle) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The eighth Canadian Battle Series volume is the little-told story of the tense final days of World War II, remembered in the Netherlands as "the sweetest of springs," which saw the country's liberation from German occupation.
The Liberation Campaign, a series of fierce, desperate battles during the last three months of the war, was bittersweet. A nation's freedom was won and the war concluded, but these final hostilities cost Canada 6,298 casualties, including 1,482 dead. With his trademark "you are there" style that draws upon official records, veteran memories, and a keen understanding of the combat experience, Mark Zuehlke brings to life this concluding chapter in the story of Canada in World War II."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
About the Author
Mark Zuehlke's Canadian Battle Series, of which this is the eighth volume, is the most extensive account written of the combat experiences of Canada's army in World War II. These best-selling books continue to confirm Zuehlke's reputation as the nation's leading writer of popular military history. In combination with 2007's Terrible Victory, On to Victory presents the most comprehensive English-language account of Holland's liberation from German occupation. Zuehlke is currently at work on his next book in the series.
Zuehlke's five other historical works include for Honour's Sake: The War of 1812 and the Brokering of an Uneasy Peace, which won the 2007 Canadian Authors Association Lela Common Award for Canadian History. Also a novelist, he is the author of the popular Elias McCann crime series. The first book in the series, Hands Like Clouds, won the Crime Writers of Canada Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel in 2000.
Zuehlke lives in Victoria, B.C., and can be found on the web at www.zuehlke.ca.
