An exploration of the powerful role of the mourning mother in war and how maternal grief has been used for political gain.
Maternal love is considered as an unconditional form of love, yet mothers have been prepared to sacrifice their children for a noble cause. This book compares the lore about mothers of martyrs in the Judeo-Christian, Muslim, and Sikh traditions with stories of World War I Canadian mothers who sacrificed their sons for the sake of justice.
