Ninety years after the end of WWI, this work honours those soldiers and makes their stories a vivid reality. Mark Zuehlke focuses on one particular battalion, the Canadian Scottish (Princess Mary's) Regiment, who suffered the worst loss of life and casualties among Canadian troops, and how the men bonded through their harrowing experience and came to represent the uniting and rising of a nation beginning to realize its potential

Written for a general audience, and complemented by photographs taken on the battlefield, and helpful maps, this book will impress the reader with the scope and brutality of the war that was meant to end all wars.
