Interior clean and unmarked. Black & white illustrations by Tony Urquhart. ‘… based on his childhood memories of the wartime experiences related to him by family members who were survivors of the First and Second World wars. The first two sections re-enact trench and air warfare, as exemplified by the battle of Vimy Ridge and the bombing of Dresden. The third section, “Reconstruction,” meditates on the after-effects of these events on family, culture and society, and on the way in which the wars of this century have shaped Canada’s national character and destiny.’ (from rear wrap)
