Must-have history of Canadian army in the Italian Campaign,
By A Customer
This review is from: The D-Day Dodgers: The Canadians in Italy, 1943-1945 (Paperback)
Dancocks again approaches Canadian Military history with a fresh eye. His easy writing style and clear prose makes absorbing both the historical facts and their context deceptively easy. He uses a combination of regimental histories and Official Canadian histories coupled with more recently declassified sources and personal oral histories to bring a fresh perspective to this important Canadian operation.From the reasons Canada sent 1st Division to Italy in the first place to the ultimately successful conclusion of the Italian campaign, Dancocks embodies all of his narrative with first person accounts that remind the reader of exactly how these campaigns were fought and by whom. This book occupies a valued place in my military history library. The fact that the author continues to concentrate on Canadian subjects is just another bonus. |
