Canada's Hundred Days: With the Canadian Corps from Amiens to Mons 1918

Canada's Hundred Days follows John Frederick Bligh Livesay's gripping account of the Canadian Corps during the final, decisive phase of World War I. From August to November 1918, after nearly four years of brutal trench warfare, the Allied Forces launched their climactic offensive to shatter the German Hindenburg Line and drive enemy forces from their entrenched positions. Through meticulously researched war history, Livesay chronicles the Canadian Expeditionary Force's remarkable journey across the Western Front. The narrative unfolds across four dramatic stages: the breakthrough at Amiens, the assault on Arras, the capture of Cambrai, and the relentless pursuit through Valenciennes toward Mons—the very Belgian town where the Great War began four years earlier. By November 11, 1918, the Canadian Corps had transformed from defenders holding static lines into the spearhead of victory. This non-fiction account honors the courage and sacrifice of Canadian soldiers and support personnel who turned the tide of history during warfare's most pivotal hundred days. Livesay captures both the strategic brilliance and human cost of this final push toward armistice, offering readers a soldier's-eye perspective on how the war truly ended. Perfect for history enthusiasts, military buffs, and anyone seeking to understand Canada's crucial role in ending the First World War, this audiobook brings the trenches to life with authenticity and respect.
