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.

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!
