  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  MARK ZUEHLKE’S critically acclaimed trilogy about Canada’s experiences in World War II’s Italian campaign—Ortona: Canada’s Epic World War II Battle, The Liri Valley: Canada’s World War II Breakthrough to Rome, and The Gothic Line: Canada’s Month of Hell in World War II Italy—established him as the nation’s leading writer of popular military history. He is also the author of The Canadian Military Atlas: The Nation’s Battlefields from the French and Indian Wars to Kosovo;The Gallant Cause: Canadians in the Spanish Civil War, 1936–1939; and Scoundrels, Dreamers, and Second Sons: British Remittance Men in the Canadian West. Juno Beach is the first of a planned series that will trace the Canadian role in the Normandy campaign.

  Also a novelist, he is the author of the popular Elias McCann series, which follows the misadventures and investigations of a community coroner in Tofino, British Columbia. The first in this series, Hands Like Clouds, won the 2000 Crime Writers of Canada Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel. It was followed by Carry Tiger to Mountain and, most recently, he has completed Sweep Lotus, with publication expected soon.

  Zuehlke lives in Victoria, British Columbia, where, when not writing, he enjoys backpacking, cycling, kayaking, cooking Italian food, and gardening.
