Mark’s expertise on Canada’s military history and critical analyses of how the nation’s military heritage has been documented over time in academic and popular historical media has led to his being in increasing demand as a speaker. His talks on the role of remembrance in instilling people with a sense of pride in Canada and its historical achievements are also well received. Recently in Legion Magazine, Jack Granatstein wrote that "it is a pleasure to find an author who can write well. Victoria freelanc historian and writer Mark Zuehlke has written well and widely on Canadian military history, and his highly regarded volumes on the Italian campaign and on the campaign in Northern Europe are best sellers and deservedly so."
