Canada: McClelland & Stewart. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1991. First Edition. Hardcover. 0771025440 . "When troops of the First Canadian Infantry Division waded ashore in southern Sicily in July 1943, it marked the first time - aside from the few bloody hours on the beach of Dieppe - that Canadian soldiers had gone into combat in Europe since the start of WWII. This is their story. A popular history-analysis of Canada's participation in the Italian campaign, taking the reader battle by battle, from landing to the final days. Examines the reasons why Canadian forces were committed in Italy and assesses their impact. Creates a sweeping narrative that includes the experiences of the fighting men - from privates to generals." - dust jacket. 508 pages. Footnotes, bibliography, index, maps, black and white photographic plates. Clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. An excellent copy.
