Events Description
Join us for Book Discussions with author and anthropologist Ian Cosh!
Ghosts of Ortona: Reckoning with the Traumas of Canadian World War II Veterans.
As a young anthropologist, Ian Cosh set out to document the memories of a little-known but costly World War II battle fought over Christmas in the Italian town of Ortona.
“Ghosts of Ortona is a powerful, empathetic exploration of the hidden psychological costs of killing and survival. Rich in dialogue, imagery, and insight, it immerses readers in the lives of those affected—and challenges the way we remember war.”- Sutherland Books.
