About the book
This book tends to expose the fact that during times of wars, chaos and insecurity in a country even in cases of insurgency, the media plays a vital role in serving the public with relevant information concerning the state of things at any particular point in time, or even as things unfolds and develops. A lot of people are either ignorant of this, or deliberately feel unconcerned; but this does not change the fact that somewhere in the middle of a heated battle, at least one journalist must have lost their life for his or her country.
The bible says, "Give honour to whom honour is due." As such, I think these fallen heroes ought to be recognized, but today how many societies truly honour such people who have given their life to service it?
The modern society easily recognizes politicians, fashion trends, movie stars, and musicians, amongst others. No doubt, MOST of them merit the recognition, but what about thousands who have died so that news and information can get to us? What happens to their family after their demise? Are they abandoned because majority of them do not have affluence or influence? Meanwhile, they are the ones that have truly affected our lives especially in this age of information, as even the bible says, "my people perish for lack of knowledge."
Take it or leave it we cannot underestimate the usefulness of information, we cannot function properly without the relay of Information. No information is wasted in our society today; some journalists are looked down on, mistreated, and even kicked out or prevented from entering some place of preference.
Of course, we cannot also ignore the efforts and sacrifices of soldiers who willingly put their lives at stake just to maintain order in war affected areas, even in cases of terrorism. I do have a friend who lost his elder brother, a soldier, to such fate leaving a wife and a three- month old son behind.
This is a book that presents the story of a reporter; Lady Morris and also that of Lieutenant Steve Bruno as lives that had great effect on others. The poppy is a flower that is used to remember the fallen in the two world wars, especially on remembrance Sunday.
READ AND ENJOY.
