New problems, Old Solutions 21. Break-Out. SYNOPSIS: Ben Dunkelman had what they called "a good war". He was there when the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada hit the beaches on D-day. He was with them when they fought their way down the bloody road to Falaise, when they captured Boulogne and the other fortified Channel ports, and when, often waist-deep in water, they fought the bitter yard-by-yard campaign to clear the Scheldt Estuary. As part of the Canadian 3rd Division his unit frequently spearheaded the entire Allied assault--in fact his men reached the Rhine ahead of all the other Allied forces. Before the war had ended, Rifleman Dunkelman had become a major and had won the D.S.O. after an incident in a Hochwald minefield; his popularity with the troops and his fame at home were such that the Liberals had offered him a safe seat in Parliament--which, at his men's request, he turned down to stay at the front. At the war's end he turned down command of the 1st Battalion of the Queen's Own because, in his own words, he has always been "a soldier from necessity, not from choice." Back in Toronto after five years of war, he was entitled to relax in his role as Canadian war hero, to enjoy his family's affluent life-style, and to spend his days running the huge family clothing business, Tip Top Tailors. But for all his dislike of soldiering, Ben Dunkelman is a romantic and a Jew, and when in 1948 the infant state of Israel was threatened with extinction he felt unable to stand idly by. His second loyalty drew him back to Israel and war. With the aid of a forged passport he slipped through the lines of his former British allies, and joined the tattered Israeli forces as a volunteer. In that 1948 war the Israeli armies were hopelessly outnumbered, ill-trained and ill-equipped; their "tanks", for example, consisted of cars with metal stuck around the sides. But with his experience and training Ben Dunkelman was able to even up the odds. The Foreword by Israel's Prime Minister makes it clear that he played a decisive part in the war, helping to break the siege of Jerusalem, and (at Ben-Gurion's request) commanding the 7th Brigade that won the war in the north. "To this day," Rabin notes, "a bridge that skirts the Lebanese frontier is named 'Ben's Bridge'. It is Israel's way of acknowledging the exploits of a brave solder and a proud Jew who came to his people's aid at a decisive crossroads in its history." Now, after a life spent quietly in Toronto, Ben Dunkelman has told his astonishing life-story. Hollywood could hardly have invented a more swashbuckling, romantic tale that this exciting autobiography by a larger-than-life Canadian, a hero in two countries. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
