About the book

Originally a reporter for the Toronto Star, Matt Halton, as Senior War Correspondent for the CBC during the Second World War, reported from the front lines in Italy and Northwest Europe, and became the voice of Canada at war.' His reports were at times tender and sad and other times shocking and explosive. Drawing on extensive interviews and archival research, this definitive biography, written by acclaimed former CBC correspondent David Halton (Matt's son), is a fascinating look at the career of one of the most accomplished journalists Canada has ever known.'
