Great read. Well researched and much perspective from the mud crunching privates who bore the brunt of the task.

Good read so far.

Only 2.5 chapters remaining. The length of the authors sentences and paragraph structure has made this book a slow and confusing read for me. This is further confounded by the constant use of acronyms which are closely similar and sent me back to the glossary regularly.

Good book so far. I'm learning the first biggest problem the Allies (not just Canada) had at the outbreak of war was finding able-bodied commanders. Those there on seniority were simply not suited for the demands of the daily pace. They had to identify these people and get rid of them. Not what i wanted to hear, but I'm reading on!
