Reviews Terrible Victory does not focus strictly on the hostilities between those in command, although the personality conflicts between key planners...are brought to life for the reader. Instead, Zuehlke examines the battle from the point of view of the Canadian and German sides, utilizing memoirs, regimental histories and personal papers of those in the battle...his work is a welcome addition to Second World War literature on the subject.

SynopsisBOOK SIX in the Canadian Battle Series Terrible Victory is a gripping account of Canada's bloody liberation of western Holland, one of our finest, and most costly, military victories. On September 4, 1944, Antwerp, Europe's largest port, fell to the Second British Army and it seemed the war would soon be won. But Antwerp was of little value unless the West Scheldt Estuary linking it to the North Sea was also in Allied hands. In his greatest blunder of the war, Field Marshal Montgomery turned his back on the port, leaving the First Canadian Army to fight its way up the long coastal flank. By the time the Canadians and others serving with them reached the area, it had been transformed into a fortress manned by troops ordered to fight to the death. Crushing the Nazi defenders required all of the Canadians' courage, endurance and skill. The battle that raged until November was Canada's bloodiest of World War II, costing more than 6,000 casualties., This print-on-demand title is available by request from most booksellers. -- BOOK SIX in the Canadian Battle Series Terrible Victory is a gripping account of Canada's bloody liberation of western Holland, one of our finest, and most costly, military victories.
