Summary:  "First published in 1995 as Maple Leaf Against the Axis : Canada's Second World War has been completely revised and updated, with new chapters that reflect the latest research about 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, the people of Canada and their 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, the author delves incisively into the pivotal battles of the Second World War, examining 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 Second Tactical Air Force in Europe. The successes and failures, triumphs and shortcomings of the Canadian military and a celebration of a growing country's contribution during the Second World War. David Bercuson is the author of Blood on the Hills: The Canadian Army in the Korean War and The Fighting Canadians: Our Regimental History from New France to Afghanistan.
