Take a trip back in time to the chaos and destruction of the greatest invasion in military history, viewed through the lens of Canadian paratroopers. Men of Steel is the exciting story of some of Canada's toughest and most daring soldiers in the Second World War.

In the dead of night, on 5/6 June 1944, hundreds of elite Canadian paratroopers hurled themselves from aircraft behind enemy lines. That daring act set the stage for the eventual success of the Allied invasion fleet. From aircraft formations striking out from England on a turbulent flight across the English Channel to the tumultuous drop over Occupied Europe and deadly close combat in the Normandy countryside, Men of Steel is a detailed account of Canadian paratroopers and their instrumental role in D-Day.

Colonel Bernd Horn is an experienced infantry officer who has commanded at the unit and subunit level. He has filled key command appointments such as deputy commander of Canadian Special Operations Forces Command, commanding officer of the 1st Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment, and offer commanding 3 Commando, the Canadian Airborne Regiment. Dr. Horn is also an adjunct professor of history at the Royal Military College of Canada. He has authored, co-authored, edited, and co-edited 28 books and numerous articles on military history and military affairs. He lives in Kingston, Ontario.
