War Stories: Recommendations?

The Longest Day is good and it includes stories about both the Canadian's and the Brits.

The Pugilist at Rest by Thom Jones (that is the correct spelling).

Farley Mowat served in the Canadian Army in Dubya-Dubya Too, and wrote some about it, but i don't know if was collected into a single book. I'm not sure if he wrote enough about it for a book.

There is an excellent book on Canada's military experience which is not quite what you've asked for, but which you might enjoy entitled Fighting for Canada: Seven Battles, 1758-1945, by various authors, and edited by Donald Graves. This book was so popular that another has been compiled, More Fighting for Canada: Five Battles, 1760-1944. You can read about it at the Fighting for Canda web site.

WeWere Soldiers & Young by LT Gen harold G Moore & Joseph L Galloway.
A True story abot The Battle That changed the War in Vietnam.

Company Commander by Charles B McDonald is realistic and touching. I've read it many times.

If You Survive: From Normandy to the Battle of the Bulge to the End of World War II, One American Officer's Riveting True Story by George Wilson

Platoon Leader : A Memoir of Command in Combat by James R. Mcdonough

These I can also recommend. Don't know much about Canadian literature.
