The Victory Campaign, Volume III

The Victory Campaign, Volume III is the authoritative final volume of the Official History of the Canadian Army in the Second World War, published in 1960 by authority of Canada's Minister of National Defence. Written by Colonel C. P. Stacey, Canada's official wartime historian, this landmark work provides a detailed account of the Canadian Army's decisive role in the North-West Europe campaign, from the Normandy landings through the liberation of Europe and the final surrender of German forces in May 1945.

Based on extensive research in Canadian, Allied, and captured German military records, the book examines major battles, strategic decisions, and the experiences of Canadian soldiers during the closing stages of the war. Richly illustrated with photographs, battle maps, operational sketches, and colour campaign maps, it remains an essential reference for military historians and collectors of Canadian wartime history.

This copy bears an interesting provenance, having been presented to the Nepean High School Library by G. W. L. Nicholson in September 1962. Such presentation copies add historical interest and make this an appealing volume for collectors of Canadian military history and institutional library editions.
