Vancouver:Douglas & McIntyre. (2007). 1st edition. 545pp. Illustrated. Hardcover with dust jacket. Page edges lightly soiled but otherwise a very good clean copy, inside and out. The dust jacket is lightly soiled but also in very good condition.�* "On September 13, 1944, First Canadian Army's most horrific battle of World War II began, in the mud-soaked Belgian and Dutch lowland country bordering the West Scheldt estuary near Antwerp. This twelve-mile waterway linking Europe's greatest port to the North Sea was crucial to support the vast Allied armies rolling toward Germany. The advance was grindiing to a halt for want of supplies. Told to open Antwerp at any cost, First Canadian Army slammed hard against heavily entrenched German forces ordered to die in place. For 55 days, a titanic contest between two equally determined foes ensued -- fought at close quarters in ground devoid of protective cover and in appalling conditions where each day was colder and wetter than the one before,".dj��.
