Default New Book

There is a new book out now called “A Richer Dust: Family, Memory and the Second World War” written by Robert Calder.

http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASI...549953-7700035


There is a review of it in today’s Montreal Gazette (6 March). The book is about the author’s uncle Kenneth Calder, who served as an officer in the 2nd LAA Regt. during WWII. I have not seen the book yet but from the review it appears to be interesting. Note that the book dose not have a happy outcome. Kenneth Calder came through the war in one piece, only to commit suicide soon after his return to Canada. Not all of war’s casualties occur on the battlefield.
