À propos de cet audio

 Long before she made her first trip to Afghanistan as an embedded reporter for The Globe and Mail, Christie Blatchford was already one of Canada’s most respected and eagerly read journalists. Her vivid prose, her unmistakable voice, her ability to connect emotionally with her subjects and readers, her hard-won and hard-nosed skills as a reporter–these had already established her as a household name. But with her many reports from Afghanistan, and in dozens of interviews with the returned members of the 1st Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry and others back at home, she found the subject she was born to tackle. Her reporting of the conflict and her deeply empathetic observations of the men and women who wear the maple leaf are words for the ages, fit to stand alongside the nation’s best writing on war.

It is a testament to Christie Blatchford’s skills and integrity that along with the admiration of her readers, she won the respect and trust of the soldiers. They share breathtakingly honest accounts of their desire to serve, their willingness to confront fear and danger in the battlefield, their loyalty towards each other and the heartbreak occasioned by the loss of one of their own. Grounded in insights gained over the course of three trips to Afghanistan in 2006, and drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews not only with the servicemen and -women with whom she shared so much, but with their commanders and family members as well, Christie Blatchford creates a detailed, complex and deeply affecting picture of military life in the twenty-first century.

Matilda Novak and her producer ruin an otherwise compelling first person narrative. She couldn’t bother to properly pronounce Regina, pronouncing it Regeena. She butchers poor Mr Gagnon’s name by pronouncing it phonetically. These are just two examples of her utter disregard for Canada and lack of professionalism. Perhaps taking the time to learn to pronounce these things properly would be more professional. Otherwise it is disrespectful to Canada, the listener, and the author. A terrible and disrespectful production.
If you can get past this unprofessionalism, it is an important story that Canadians should listen to so they understand what our neglected military does and to be proud to be a Canadian.

Reader is terrible!!

This author provides a bird's eye view and a sensitive awareness of the realities of war - and the Canadian military. I'm grateful for my new perspective and learning.

Eye-opening and very respectful.

With the recent breakout of war in Ukraine, my heart goes out to the soldiers protecting their homeland. This documentation gives me a renewed appreciation for the men and women who make the ultimate sacrifice for our way of life. This is the best narration of any audible book I have listened to. This is real. This is now. This is horrific.

Gut Wrenching

A story that needed to be told. I hope this period in Canadian military history is remembered forever. The sacrifices made were unthinkable by most of our population. Hold your heads high. Once a patricia!

Honoured Canadian hero’s

I honestly can't get past the annoying Author's notes. Someone should have informed Matilda Novak how Lieutenant is pronounced in Canada. Maybe I'll try listening to the entire book another time.
