Ages and Icons is commemorating Remembrance Day with celebrated author, journalist and broadcaster Ted Barris, 69. Barris has dedicated himself to chronicling the oft-untold heroics of Canadian men and women in the theatre of war.� From shedding light on the Canuck contingent behind the famed Second World War POW prison break dubbed �The Great Escape� � popularized in the classic Hollywood film that ignores the Canadian effort � to the largely forgotten Canadian effort in Korea to the stories of the men and women who fought in Afghanistan, you�d be hard-pressed to find a conflict that the Barris hasn�t covered. Seventeen bestselling non-fiction books later � not to mention a Veterans� Affairs Commendation (2011), the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal (2012) and a Libris Best Non-Fiction Book Award (in 2014 for The Great Escape: A Canadian Story) � the Toronto native returns with his latest tome, Dam Busters: Canadian Airmen and the Secret Raid Against Nazi Germany.
