Mark Zuehlke's Canadian Battle Series, of which this is the eighth volume, is the most extensive account written of the combat experiences of Canada's army in World War II. These best-selling books continue to confirm Zuehlke's reputation as the nation's leading writer of popular military history. In combination with 2007's Terrible Victory, On to Victory presents the most comprehensive English-language account of Holland's liberation from German occupation. Zuehlke is currently at work on his next book in the series.
Zuehlke's five other historical works include for Honour's Sake: The War of 1812 and the Brokering of an Uneasy Peace, which won the 2007 Canadian Authors Association Lela Common Award for Canadian History. Also a novelist, he is the author of the popular Elias McCann crime series. The first book in the series, Hands Like Clouds, won the Crime Writers of Canada Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel in 2000.
Zuehlke lives in Victoria, B.C., and can be found on the web at www.zuehlke.ca.
