In A Land Far Away: Warrior Tales Vol. 1 | Canadian Military Short Stories

“To anyone who has never worn the uniform, soldiering looks pretty cool. And it is; sometimes. But it’s mostly bloody hard work. Sure, we get to ride around in armoured vehicles, blow things up and go to interesting places most people only ever see on the news. But there’s a price to pay for doing ‘cool’ things. It’s written in our relationships with our families and the isolation we feel when it’s all over.”

From the story HOMAGE

Have you ever imagined what it's like to serve in the military or to be a soldier in a foreign land? Many Canadians don't give it much thought. For them, the military is something they know Canada has but have no insight into what it does when its deployed.
IN A LAND FAR AWAY is a collection of short stories about real situations Canadian soldiers and veterans have encountered while serving at home and abroad. Honest and heart-rending, these stories will make the reader challenge what they think they know about their military and the role they play.
