Praise for Michael J. Goodspeed’s

Three to a Loaf: A Novel of the Great War

“A compelling account that is fiction in name only. Goodspeed’s research and personal military experience make this fast-paced story powerful and authentic, as real for World War I as The Red Badge of Courage was for the American Civil War.”

MAJOR-GENERAL (RET.) LEWIS W. MACKENZIE

“An exciting Great War story of soldiering and spying. Goodspeed’s book is almost unique for being well-written and accurate militarily…”

PROF. J.L. GRANATSTEIN, author of Canada’s Army: Waging War and Keeping the Peace

“A great read … didn’t put it down until 1 a.m. … a full-bodied, compelling espionage thriller. Goodspeed has captured the horror of life in the mud and blood-filled trenches of World War I as only an experienced soldier with a great eye can. On top of that, he’s got down pat the cultural differences in the manners, mindsets and methods of the Britons and Germans among whom his Canadian hero finds himself.”

JOE SCHLESINGER, award-winning CBC journalist and foreign correspondent

“Michael Goodspeed’s debut novel that’s set in the First World War will appeal to fans of both historical fiction and the espionage genre.”
