First published in 1995 as Maple Leaf Against the Axis, Our Finest Hour has been completely revised and updated, with new chapters that reflect the latest research into Canada's home front in the war and the formulation and execution of Canadian war strategy at the highest levels. Although Canada was not ready for war in 1939, its people and its armed forces eventually overcame major challenges--from the building of tanks, planes, ships and trucks and the production of huge amounts of grain, meat and vegetables to the creation of the only full Canadian field army in history and a navy and air force crucial to Allied victory. From Hong Kong to the Rhine River crossing, Our Finest Hour delves incisively into the pivotal battles of the Second World War and the roles of the Canadian army, navy and air force. Bestselling author David J. Bercuson probes the war on the ground, on the seas and in the air--from the bomber offensive over Germany to the Typhoon fighter squadrons with the 2nd Tactical Air Force in Europe. With an unflinching eye, he provides insight into the successes and failures, the triumphs and shortcomings, of the Canadian military. Our Finest Hour is at once a masterpiece of historical narrative and a celebration of a growing country's contribution during the Second World War.
