Available format(s)
"Author Lee Windsor has done an excellent job of chronicling the accounts of these hard-fought battles. Using a combination of individual soldier’s stories and previously published regimental histories, he has painted a vivid picture of modern armoured warfare." — The Chronicle Herald
"Windsor provides a compelling account, often at a personal level, of how the Hussars proved themselves to Canada and to the world in the bloody battles at the Gothic Line and Coriano Ridge. His book is well-researched and includes great photos and maps that should appeal to anyone interested in military history." — Canada's History Magazine
