Stretching like an armor-toothed belt across Italy's upper thigh, the Gothic Line was the most fortified position the German army had yet thrown into the Allied forces' path. On August 25, 1944, it fell to Canadian troops to spearhead a major offensive: to rip through that fiercely defended line. This gripping chronicle tells, through the eyes of the soldiers who fought there, of the 28-day clash that ultimately ended in glory for the Canadians.

On September 4, 1944, Antwerp, Europe’s largest port, fell to the Second British Army and it seemed the war would soon be won. But Antwerp was of little value unless the West Scheldt Estuary linking it to the North Sea was also in Allied hands. In his greatest blunder of the war, Field Marshal Montgomery turned his back on the port, leaving the First Canadian Army to fight its way up the long coastal flank. By the time the Canadians and others serving with them reached the area, it had been transformed into a fortress manned by troops ordered to fight to the death.

The Autobiographical Story of the Opening of the Far North There was a time not so very long ago when the Hudson’s Bay Company ruled the north. A time of silky furs, Indian skirmishes, canoes, “jawbone”, dog sleds, traps, and sourdoughs. Adventure came easy in this silent land of the far north. Henry John Moberly surely had plenty of it. Nearly 50 years he spent among the native and white trappers as a fur trader, trapper, hunter, and explorer. Moberly opened many of HBC’s most remote Trading Posts. The struggles of the north, the unbearable cold, the humor of the frontiersmen, the ...

From the award-winning author of Mafia Confession: "King of Bootleggers" Murder and City of Betrayal: The Genovese Family's Springfield Crew comes his most explosive true crime chronicle yet, Outlaw Bikers and the Mob. Montreal was always a city of shadows. The cobblestones told stories, but the real power pulsed beneath, in smoky backrooms, strip-club VIP lounges, and the hush of late-night meetings where names were never said out loud. This wasn’t fiction. It wasn’t a movie. This was the underworld’s frontline. And for a time, it was ruled by an unholy alliance: the Sicilian Mafia ...

From out of these mountains come many things. . . Here is a big game hunting story from the greatest hunting grounds in the world. From a time when they were wholly unknown.

From Whitehorse, the largest "city" of ...

Donald Trump: The Master of Disaster is a searing examination of a presidency defined not by leadership, but by chaos, erosion, and consequence. This book argues—methodically and relentlessly—that Donald J. Trump is not merely a controversial president, but a historically destructive one. Through vivid narrative and documented analysis, it traces how impulsive decision-making, contempt for democratic norms, and the personalization of power have repeatedly placed the nation’s institutions, economy, and moral standing at risk. From governance by grievance to rule by loyalty tests, ...

THE PLACE AT THE END OF ALL ROADS The place at the end of all roads was called Glenora, beside the Stikine River. The dirt road simply ended on the rocky shore of the river. Past that point for hundreds of miles to the south, west and north, there were no roads and no people until the river finally reached Alaska, 150 miles away. It was there and beyond where we lived and raised our family for many years. In late winter my wife Ann and I, with our four month old baby, Ariana, drove into the village of Telegraph Creek, BC, the most remote community in all of British Columbia, Canada, near ...
