Full disclosure - I was involved with the production of this book (proofreading).
An amazing personal story of life in Canada's WWII internment camps. While I had heard about the camps before, reading Tom Sando's story brought things into much clearer focus. I had never really pictured a Canada where Canadian citizens would be removed from their homes to road camps and internment camps - and yet there they were, in penetentaries surrounded by barbed wire. Hopefully a scene our country will never see again.
Truly a worthwhile read.
