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.

Just finished 'Operation Husky' by Mark Zuehlke. Another great book in his Canadian battlefield series! I absolutely love these book as it give me such a personal sense of these important historical battles as experienced by those who where there. Most importantly his books makes me feel connected to the men who fought there and Mark's powerful story telling has drawn tears several times as I get pulled deep into the experience I am fortunate enough only to imagine. The books are gift of remembrance to these men. The epilogue in this book I found especially touching. Thanks for the great book Mark and I'm looking forward to the next!!!
