Softcover. Condizione: Good. Reprint. With trademark vibrant style, the tenth volume in Mark Zuehlke's Canadian Battle series tells the story of the 1942 Dieppe raid. Nicknamed The Poor Man's Monte Carlo, Dieppe had no strategic importance. The decision to assault it with the largest raid mounted to that date was political. Britain was under intense pressure to launch a major cross-Channel attack against France and, since 1939, Canadian troops had amassed and trained there for the invasion of Europe that would finally occur in 1944. But the Canadian public and many politicians were impatient to see Canadian soldiers fight sooner. Drawing on rare archival documents, personal interviews, and other sources, Mark Zuehlke examines how the raid came to be and why it went so tragically wrong. From the clash of personality and ambition between those masterminding the raid to the experiences of the common soldier left to carry it out, Zuehlke tells the story vividly and uncompromisingly. Ultimately, Tragedy at Dieppe honors the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought and died that fateful day and is a fitting tribute timed to commemorate the raid's 70th anniversary.

Softcover. Condizione: Good. Reprint. Brilliant and tense, Dany Laferrire's first novel, How to Make Love to a Negro Without Getting Tired, is as fresh and relevant today as when it was first published in Canada in 1985. With ribald humor and a working-class intellectualism on par with Charles Bukowski's or Henry Miller's, Laferrire's narrator wanders the streets and slums of Montreal, has sex with white women, and writes a book to save his life. With this novel, Laferrire began a series of internationally acclaimed social and political novels about the love of the world, and the world of sex, including Heading South and I Am a Japanese Writer. It launched Laferrire as one of the literary world's finest provocateurs and continues to draw strong comparisons to the writings of James Baldwin, Henry Miller, Charles Bukowski, and Jack Kerouac. The book was made into a feature film and translated into several languages this is the first U.S. edition.

Softcover. Condizione: New. Second. Few Canadian artists are as revered as Emily Carr. Born in 1871, she grew up in a socially conservative environment, away from the major art centers. Critics at the time considered her early paintings accurate and skilled but lacking energy and depth of feeling. Against the odds, Emily Carr found success at the age of 57 when she was embraced by the Group of Seven. Her later works earned her status as 'an artist of stunning originality and strength': a woman who succeeded in a largely male world. She brought the power and beauty of coastal rainforests, and respectful glimpses of First Nations culture, to galleries in Toronto, New York and beyond. Nearly 70 years after her death, this collection of beautifully reproduced art showcases the breadth of Carr's career. It is a perfect introduction to her work and a lovely gift for Carr aficionados.
