The Canadian Corps of 1917-1918 was a superb military formation. It was large and powerful for a corps-sized formation; it was tested and well led at every level, not least at the platoon and company level; it was filled with fit, motivated soldiers, even as the conscripts began to arrive in 1918; and it had a high opinion of itself and its power. Lieutenant-Colonel Schreiber does a remarkable job of telling the story of the Corps during the last three months of the war. During a series of hard-fought and successful battles, the four divisions of the Corps met and defeated elements of variously 47 or 68 German divisions, comparable to the ten-times larger American Expeditionary Force. The book narrates this story using a clever musical theme - the parts of a classical symphony, but which sadly is never developed. The book also is heavy on analysis of the tactical methods of German and Canadian, and the interplay between the two. The book originated as a university thesis, and this is sometimes apparent in its occasionally technical and occasionally florid writing. It perhaps could have used more and better editing. That said, it is concise, fast-paced, and a good read. I recommend it highly. ( )
