The Bravest Canadian

A treasure trove of letters from and about Fritz Peters, VC — one of
Canada’s greatest war heroes — gives new insight into his life, his
thinking and what made him tick. Lovable and eccentric, Peters’
life criss-crosses the globe, encompassing boyhood on two coasts
of Canada, naval service at the romantic China station, tense battles
with German U-boats and a mysterious career in the spy world,
culminating with him leading ships to a modern-day Charge of
the Light Brigade inside an Algerian port which finds him facing
Vichy French guns lined up against him from every direction.
