Summary
On May 17, 2006, Forward Observation Officer Captain Nichola Goddard earned a tragic place in Canadian history: she became the first female Canadian soldier to die in combat, in Afghanistan. Born to left-wing pacifists, Nichola was an unlikely soldier, but… she maintained a fierce loyalty to her profession. Fortney profiles the life of a woman who consistently defied societally-imposed constraints. Explicit strong language, explicit descriptions of violence, and some descriptions of sex. c2010.
