Another fantastic book concerning the Canadians in Italy is titled " The D-Day Dodgers" written by Daniel Dancocks.1991. This is quite a large book but I was unable to put it down. Some of The reveiws are as follows:

"The D-Day Dodgers is a spirited tribute to the men and women who fought, suffered, and died in the ... campaign in Italy.Dan Dancocks did them well, and they deserve it."...Canadian Defence Quarterly

"The D-Day Dodgers is the most facinating of W.W.2 Canadian campaign histories" Legion Magazine

"Filled with enough anecdotes and solid narrative to keep military buffs occupied for some time" Books in Canada

Anyways you all get the idea. This book is quite large for a paper back with a total of 508 pages, also has quite a bibliograph which lists numerour other books that I won't even begin to go into.

I highly recomend this book to all who have an interest in the Canadian campaigns in Italy. It is not a dry bok at all.
