Narrative history of Canada's involvement in Operation Husky, the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943, Canada's first division-level operation of the war (despite having declared war on Germany four years previously). The book's focus is purely on the Canadian effort, so the Patton/Montgomery soap opera is only alluded to in passing and the intentions of the Germans in withdrawal can only be inferred by the action taking place. This is the fourth book written by Zuehlke about the Canadian army in the Italian campaign (although the events in this book are the first to take place chronologically). sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

On July 10, 1943, two great Allied armadas of over 2,000 ships readied to invade Sicily. This was Operation Husky, the first step toward winning a toehold in fascist-occupied Europe. Among the invaders were 20,000 Canadian troops serving in the First Canadian Infantry Division and First Canadian Tank Brigade -- in their first combat experience. Over the next 28 days, the Allied troops carved a path through the rugged land, despite fierce German opposition. Drawing on firsthand accounts of veterans and official military records, Operation Husky offers a gripping, meticulous account of this seminal operation and the young men who fought, died, and survived it.
