This book offers a fresh perspective on a war, by three very talented women, that touched nearly every Canadian family and changed our sense of ourselves as a nation...The reportage from these women presents an insightful, moving, funny, and compelling body of observations of a devastating conflict, from underrepresented points of view. Firing Lines is based on the letters, articles, and books they wrote, as well as the records of those who knew them.
