Suicide Battalion pic
By James McWilliams and R.J. Steel
Meet the men of the 46th Canadian Infantry (South Saskatchewan) -- the raw recruits who would earn a reputation as the finest fighting soldiers of the First World War. Over 91 percent would be killed or wounded, but they would never retreat, and they would never fail their country.

What the critics say:
"A superb story of a very gutsy bunch of men"
"The sheer futility ... comes through more clearly in this book than in any other"
"Captures the flavour of the period as much as any written word can."
"Definitely not for the faint-hearted"
