Condizione: As New. Penguin, 2002. 1st Edition 1st Printing. As New/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Owner embossed stamp otherwise clean and tight. Modern-day war reportage wasn't invented in a network boardroom. On the Battlefields, a collection of stories gleaned from Maclean's, takes the reader back to a time before armed conflict seemed staged for CNN cameras. "Tank Battle" and "They Kill U-Boats" explore the logistics of war with you-are-there realism. "Canada's Fighting Airmen" and "Mark Brown, Fighter Pilot" profile war heroes, while "The Black Hole of Germany" and "Three Against Death" are tales of survival. The Battle of Vimy Ridge is the subject of W.W. Murray's "Vimy V.C.'s" and Will R. Bird's "What Price Vimy?" "Unheeded Warning" recounts a series of mistakes that could have prevented hundreds of deaths from mustard gas and "The Truth About the War" responds to American misinformation about the involvement of British Empire troops during World War I. Some of the stories come from professional journalists, others from servicemen. Taken collectively, the pieces--all from the two world wars--emphasize the Canadian contribution to the war effort, and how the Canadians were perceived (during the World War II they were called "victory troops" by the English). 212 pp.…
