ABOUT THE AUTHOR
MARK ZUEHLKE’S Canadian Battle Series, of which this is the ninth volume, is the most extensive published account of the combat experiences of Canada’s Army in World War II. These best-selling books continue to confirm his reputation as the nation’s leading writer of popular military history. In 2006, Holding Juno:Canada’s Heroic Defence of the D-Day Beaches, June 7 – 12, 1944, won the City of Victoria’s Butler Book Prize. Breakout from Juno concludes the story of First Canadian Army during the Normandy Campaign, while Juno Beach detailed the Canadian experience on the first day of the invasion.
Besides this series, Zuehlke has written five other historical works, including For Honour’s Sake: The War of 1812 and the Brokering of an Uneasy Peace, which won the 2007 Canadian Authors Association Lela Common Award for Canadian History. Also a novelist, he is the author of the popular Elias McCann crime series. The first in the series, Hands Like Clouds, won the Crime Writers of Canada Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel in 2000, and the later Sweep Lotus was a finalist for the 2004 Arthur Ellis Award for Best Novel.
Zuehlke lives in Victoria, British Columbia, and is currently at work on his next Canadian Battle book, which turns to the August 1942 Dieppe raid. He can be found on the web at www.zuehlke.ca and Mark Zuehlke’s Canadian Battle Series Facebook site.
