The men and women of the army, navy, air force and merchant navy, their sweethearts and families, as well as those who served on the homefront, are portrayed in their own words. No Price Too High draws on original sources -personal letters and diary entries, and powerful photographs- to evoke the mood of those momentous years. The thoughts, hopes, dreams, fears, and heartbreaks of the generation of Canadians who faced the war are captured.
When producer Dick Nielsen of Norflicks Productions set out to make his documentary series, No Price Too High, he was determined to explain events of the war from the perspective of the men and women who lived through it. In this book, historian Terry Copp has collaborated with Nielsen to write a narrative that remains true to that vision. In doing so, he offers a powerful interpretation of the war years.
This is a book to make current and future generations of Canadians proud of their past. It gives greater meaning to the phrase "Lest We Forget".
