Edited and introduced by one of the foremost military historians of our time, this carefully curated collection brings to life the generals and their wartime experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interviews are based on lengthy conversations that J.L. Granatstein had with the surviving generals, their key staff officers, fighters under their command, and their families. Generals McNaughton, Crerar, Simonds, Foulkes, and Burns are among those discussed. The content is revealing and conversations frank. Peers and subordinates alike scrutinize key commanders of the war, sometimes offering praise but often passing harsh judgment. We learn of their failings and successes – and of the heavy weight of command borne by all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 THE GENERALS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMajor-General Bert Hoffmeister\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMajor-General George Kitching\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMajor-General Harry F.G.
