Winner of the 2016 Ottawa Book Award The magisterial second volume of Tim Cook's definitive account of Canadians fighting in the Second World War. Historian Tim Cook displays his trademark storytelling ability in the second volume of his masterful account of Canadians in World War II. Cook combines an extraordinary grasp of military strategy with a deep empathy for the soldiers on the ground, at sea and in the air. Whether it's a minute-by-minute account of a gruelling artillery battle, vicious infighting among generals, the scene inside a medical unit, or the small details of a soldier's daily life, Cook creates a compelling narrative. He recounts in mesmerizing detail how the Canadian forces figured in the Allied bombing of Germany, the D-Day landing at Juno beach, the taking of Caen, and the drive south. Featuring dozens of black-and-white photographs and moving excerpts from letters and diaries of servicemen, Fight to the Finish is a memorable account of Canadians who fought abroad and of the home front that was changed forever.

When the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, most Americans rejoiced that the strategy hastened the surrender of Japan. Shortly thereafter questions emerged about necessity and morality of the nuclear attacks and whether the bombings should be seen as the end of World War II or as the beginning of the Cold War. The author skillfully untangles bureaucratic conflicts in U.S. and Japanese governments to show how U.S. demands for unconditional surrender and the agonized Japanese response delayed the war's end--Publisher's description.

Hugh Brewster captures the remarkable heroism, sacrifice, and victories of Canadian soldiers during the Great War. All was not quiet on the Western Front during the last years of WWI. Soldiers faced mud, trench foot, bombardments, barbed wire, snipers, and poison gas. Despite dreadful odds, the Canadian Corps moved forward, reaching deep inside enemy-occupied Belgium. The war cost Canada 60,661 of its finest citizens and thousands more who were wounded in body and mind. After their hard-won victory at Vimy Ridge, Canadians earned the admiration of the world -- and a reputation as soldiers who could get the job done. From that moment in 1917, Canadian soldiers proved themselves again and again on the bloody battlefields of Passchendaele, Lens, Hill 70, and Amiens, during the Hundred Day's offensive. From Vimy to Victory is presented in an engaging and accessible scrapbook style, with facts and details accompanied by first-person accounts, letters describing life at the Front, wartime diaries, and numerous images, maps, and diagrams that bring World War I to vivid life.

Why the title Fight to the Finish? It would be more pleasant and more popular to write of love and peace than of spiritual warfare. Indeed, inner love and peace is a part of the Christian life, and eventually, we will enjoy everlasting love and peace. But there is war ahead before there will be peace. In September 1938, Prime Minister Chamberlain of England claimed that he had negotiated with Hitler Peace in our time. Winston Churchill warned of war around the corner. Who was right? The majority of Israel in Isaiahs day had a similar aversion to unpleasant truths. He was told, Do not prophesy to us right things; speak to us smooth things (Isaiah 30:10). But I cant do that and be faithful to God at the same time. I have a responsibility to God and to my readers to tell biblical truth with as little distortion as possible, although I know that there will be some distortion because I still have a sinful nature and a limited mind. Going back to my first book, I bear the responsibility of a watchman portrayed in Ezekiel 3 and 33in contemporary language, a sentryto sound a warning. The direct preliminary steps to the final battles may have already begunwe can only pinpoint exactly how each piece of the puzzle fits into Gods perfect plan in hindsight. But the final war between Jesus Christ and Satan is coming, and it is reasonable to believe that many who now breathe on this earth will participate in that final fight on one side or the other. This time the consequences cannot be reversed. So I plead with all believers to strap on your spiritual armor of Ephesians 6:1018 and train while there is still some measure of peace. I pray that this book will help you study the scriptures on your own and become practiced in studying the Sword of the Spirit. Dont take my word for everything that I saysearch the scriptures and see for yourselves!

The Washington Nationals entered the 2019 season with high hopes but an uncertain identity under second-year manager Dave Martinez. Gone was Bryce Harper. Still around were dominant starting pitchers in Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg star third baseman Anthony Rendon talented young outfielders Juan Soto and Victor Robles – and the specter of past playoff disappointments. A slow start dragged down by bullpen collapses saw the team 12 games below .500 and 10 games out of first place entering Memorial Day weekend. And then began a turnaround for the ages. Behind bedrock pitching from Strasburg and offseason acquisition Patrick Corbin clutching hitting from Howie Kendrick and midseason signing Gerardo Parra the Nationals played the final 112 games of the regular season as well as any team in baseball to capture a wild-card berth. Along the way they discovered the camaraderie and joy that would propel them to a wild-card victory over Milwaukee an upset of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the division round a sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Championship Series and finally a World Series victory over the Houston Astros. In Fight to the Finish relive the Nationals' run through the images and words of The Washington Post photographers and reporters who followed the team every step of the way.
