First published in 1997, this hilarious book launched satirist Will Ferguson’s career.

Men of Steel is the gripping story of some of Canada’s toughest and most daring soldiers in the Second World War and what they did in their finest hours. Through the lens of these gallant paratroopers we glimpse the chaos an
