I spent years in the archives reading their letters and diaries, and their powerful words offer new insight into the experience of battle, the clash of arms and how service personnel cope and endure.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Fight to the Finish<\/em> is a memorable account of Canadians in World War II who fought abroad and of the home front that was changed forever. In this second installment, Cook combines an extraordinary grasp of military strategy with a deep empathy for the soldiers on the ground, at sea and in the air.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two Carleton University faculty members, Tim Cook and Patricia Smart, have received 2016 Ottawa Book Awards.
