It was 10 years ago Barry Broadfoot wrote "Six War Years," the oral history of World War II. Now, 40 years after the war Broadfoot has talked with hundreds of veterans across the country to compile his latest book "The Veterans‘ Years." In it, the veterans look back to 1945 to recount their confused and painful memories of returning to civilian life. Over 40,000 Canadians did not return and of those veterans who are alive today the average age is 65. Broadfoot, a veteran himself, offers yet another perspective of war. The Veterans‘ Years.

Marg Zavaros Chronicle Special In 1915, Flanders, Belgiunm during World War I, a young Canadian military doctor contemplated the rows of white crosses in a hastily created cemetery. Between them, long stemmed wild poppies swayed in the wind. At a single glance the poppies seemed to appear as a blood stained battlefield. The young doctor John McCrae then wrote "In Flanders Fields," the famous poem so often read and recited on Remembrance Day.

The poppy became a symbol of the Allied war effort and still remains so today. The great grandson of Queen Victoria, nephew of the Tsar of Russia, cousin of the King of England, Lord Louis Mountbatten became one of the famous trio of Supreme Allied Commanders in World War II to plan a series of raids on Germanâ€"occupied France. There are lessons to be learned here but the story of Mountbatten‘s life and eventual fate remains a sad requiem for a man of his statâ€" ure. Mountbatten. Philip Ziegler. Collins. 786 p. With great skill and expertise, biographer Philip Ziegler has undertaken the gargantuan task of probing the military and personal life of this war commander. Various raids were staged under the comâ€" mand of Mountbatten, but the one in which thousands of Canadians lost their lives was the raid on Dieppe â€" Aug. 19, 1942. The author presents the reader with the question that has haunted both statesmen and historians as to why Dieppe was such an allâ€"out failure. He then goes on to give the reasons with the use of historical data and new information.
