Hi Al, Stacey's books are one of the best official histories. Well written and authoritative. An excellent resource to have if you are interested in Canadian military history of WWII.
Check abebooks. Found over 480 hits, (mostly a lot of other Stacey works). However this may be of interest, from abebooks search Mar 11. 2003.
