Summary:
"Little has been written about the Acadians who served in Canada’s armed forces during the Second World
War
. In fact, the prevailing notion suggested that Acadians refused to support the
war
effort. '
Bombs
and
Barbed
Wire
' provides an alternative point of view, revealing the commitment and bravery displayed by the approximately 24,000 Acadians who voluntarily joined the
war
effort. Battling both language barriers and a culture of exclusion, they overcame frustrations and prejudice to fight for the freedom of the country they loved. Based on extensive, in-depth interviews Cormier conducted in 1990 with eleven surviving
Acadian
veterans, '
Bombs
&
Barbed
Wire
' brings to life the experience of
Acadian
soldiers for English-language readers for the first time."--Goose Lane.
