"The best wartime memoir written by a Canadian."—The Toronto Star
It was an era of hope, heroism, and upheaval, a time of tragedy and unexpected humor. Now, through an extraordinary series of original letters exchanged with his parents, along with a connecting narrative, Farley Mowat brings those pivotal World War II years back to life, re-creating his own experiences as a member of the First Canadian Infantry—a division that fought its way up the Italian "boot" in a series of savage and bloody battles.This continuation of the story related in And No Birds Sangis perhaps Farley Mowat's most personal work to date. My Father's Sonis not only a remarkable evocation of a bygone era of innocence and idealism but also a testament to family loyalty and affection—a record of the enduring love between a father and a son.
