Max Hastings slanders 1 Canadian Army

[TColvin]

I have Copp's book, thank you Art, and plan to read it after Christmas.

'Fields of Fire' is recent (2003) and came out long after Hastings' 'Overlord' in 1984.

So you're saying Hastings might have pleaded ignorance in 1984 about the performance of 1 Canadian Army, but can't now. All the more reason why he should be asked to state his reasons. 'Armageddon', published by Macmillan, is being sold widely in the UK and has received good reviews. I believe it's possible no one has told Hastings that his views on 1 Canadian Army are up the spout.
