About this listen
On July 10, 1943, two great Allied armadas of over 2,000 ships readied to invade Sicily. This was Operation Husky, the first step toward winning a toehold in fascist-occupied Europe. Among the invaders were 20,000 Canadian troops serving in the First Canadian Infantry Division and First Canadian Tank Brigade - in their first combat experience. Over the next 28 days, the Allied troops carved a path through the rugged land, despite fierce German opposition. Drawing on firsthand accounts of veterans and official military records, Operation Husky offers a gripping, meticulous account of this seminal operation and the young men who fought, died, and survived it.

More strategic than other Zuehlke works
I enjoyed other books by Mark Zuehlke as they focused mostly on frontline fighting. I wanted to know what those guys went through. Although this book has many stories from the soldiers' perspective, there was a lot of focus on strategic movements which take away from the story and are somewhat irrelevant. Still, my knowledge of the Canadians' campaign in Sicily is greatly improved with this book.

A great account of Canada's role in the liberation of Sicily during World War Two.

OP Husky
It was a good reading. it could have been better if there had been links to the operational maps, so the listener could follow the advance of the Cdn troops.
