Book First Edition
Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good-. First Edition. 341 pp, 10 1/4" H. B&w photographs. "The experiences of the men and women included here are powerful and unforgettable, whether it is the story of a parachuter who relives his night-blind drop behind enemy lines or a prisoner of war who describes the unlikely friendship that developed between a German guard and two of his Canadian captives. Another prisoner of war recounts his harrowing time in a Japanese camp and the necessity of leaving hate behind in order to embrace the future, while a young nurse tells of the flood of wounded soldiers from a French beach to her makeshift field hospital nearby. In each case, the veterans detail their war years to remember and honour comrades lost, and to understand themselves and be understood by others. Each of the contributors share their experiences of war for the first time, and each reveals acts of extraordinary valour, self-sacrifice and duty." The veterans included are: Alex MacInnis; Andy Anderson; Charles Scot-Brown; George Borgal; John Stroud; Dick Corbett; Dick Bartlett; Tom Lane; John Weir; Clement Pearce; Nora Cook; Don Cheney; Jack Gouinlock; Hilda Ashwell; Joe Gelleny; Barney Danson; Tom Gilday; Joe Jamieson; Alex Colville; Frank Cauley; Bob Grant; David Arksey; Ed Haddon and Laurie Wilmot. Very minor wrinkle at the bottom of the spine, a very faint water mark at the bottom of the spine and hinges .
