Steel My Soldiers' Hearts is the story, from D-Day to the
armistice, of a Canadian tank man who fought the campaign in
Northwest Europe at the sharp end - told from the fighting man's
perspective. The armoured war involved the main battles for which
WWII was famous: the Normandy landing; the battles to defend the
beachhead; the fighting for Caen and Falaise; the pursuit across
France and the Low Countries; the "Market Garden" exercise to
capture the Rhine bridges at Arnhem; the Siegfried Line penetration
and finally the Rhine crossing before the march deep into Germany.
Stewart's personal war also involved the loss of three tanks and
many gallant comrades. To accomplish their feats, the author and
his colleagues had to "steel their hearts" indeed.
This book contains comments (in separate chapters) which could have
been made by officers in their messes, postulated via the author's
knowledge of the history of WWII. However, since the author was not
an officer during the war, these chapters are pure fancy, and this
is why the work is called a novel - not an autobiography. The
stories are exactly as Stewart experienced them, and the names are
of people, many still alive, that were with the author.
