Default Re: Tell people about your Military books!

There are three books by George G. Blackburn based on his war-time experiences:

Guns of Normandy: A Soldier's Eye View, France 1944 (1997, ISBN 0-7710-1503-8),
The Guns of Victory: A Soldier's Eye View, Belgium, Holland, and Germany, 1944-45 (1997, ISBN 0-7710-1505-4),
Where the Hell Are the Guns?: A Soldier's View of the Anxious Years, 1939-44 (1999, ISBN 0-7710-1506-2).

All three are excellent though the first two would be of interest to most.

The power of artillery explained through the eyes of the longest surviving FOO in the Canadian army in WW2. Those who complain arty is too powerful in the game should read these books

Anything by Mark Zuehlke's Canadian Battle Series is good. I snap up each one in hardcover the week they are released

Operation Husky
Terrible Victory
Holding Juno
Juno Beach
The Gothic Line
The Liri Valley
Ortona

and

Brave Battalion: The Remarkable Saga of the 16th Battalion (Canadian Scottish) in the First World War
