He has written for publications including The Globe and Mail, The Walrus, Maclean's and The New York Times. When journalist Andrew Clark heard the story of Harold Joseph Pringle from his grandfather, he began a quest to uncover a Canadian tragedy that has lain buried for fifty years. This extraordinary story of the last soldier to be executed by the Canadian military - likely wrongfully - gives life to the forgotten casualties of war and brings their honor home at last. A Keen Soldier is a true-life military detective story that shows another side of what many consider our proudest military campaign. Andrew Clark examines the fallout of a crisis that disfigured our national conscience and continues to raise questions about the ethics of war. And he does so with eloquence and a deep compassion, not only for his subject but for all wartime soldiers - even the men who executed Pringle and the officer who gave the order to "Fire."
