Descripción de contraportada

'Moving effortlessly between headquarters and tank turret, rear-area chateau and front-line trench, always with sensitivity both for the burdens shouldered by the commanders and for the dangers faced by the young Canadians, Terry Copp once again illustrates his mastery of Canadian Military History with iCinderella Army." The product of years spent poring over the documents and walking the ground that Canadians fought so tenaciously to liberate, this important book not only gives the Canadian divisions the credit they have long deserved, but also reflects Copp's genuine appreciation for the triumphs and travails of the individual soldiers who ultimately made the Cinderella Army the formidable force that it was.'-J.F.
