    Inside Camp X

    This book is so far one of the best that I have read. It talks about Camp X that was here in Ontario and no one knew about it. It talks about the training that went on there. The people that went through such as RCMP, Military, US Personnel and the writer of James Bond books/movies.
    Learned more of Canada and what went on during WWII in Canada. Great for learning things you never knew.

    Recently I had to do a report in school, i wasn't sure what to write about. My gradmother had bought this book a while ago and had recomended it to me. I wasnt really into these types of books, however i read it to see if i could write my report on. Let me tell you- as soon as i picked this book up, i didnt put it down. One of the best books i have ever read. I finished it in 2 days. I reccomend it to any one that wants to learn about canada and its history. Or just for a good read.

    This book was so well writen, that I just could not put it down. A must read for anyone who loves history in Canada and esspecially World War Two. The research and time put into developing the book shows with the abundance of information that not many Canadians know about today.
