    SUNRAY: THE DEATH AND LIFE OF CAPTAIN NICHOLA GODDARD

    Book ID/图书代码: 12760018C00023

    English Summary/英文概要: Goddard, say her friends and family, would have hated being singled out for her gender: she was as strong, as capable and brave as any male in uniform. She was not just a soldier on equal footing with her fellow troops; she was a leader in one of the most dangerous positions in the armed forces, a Forward Observation Officer with the artillery unit.

    But she was the most unlikely of soldiers. She was born to educators who described themselves as left-wing hippies and devoted their careers to building education systems in oppressed and war-torn countries. Tim and Sally Goddard lived and breathed a “books, not bombs” philosophy that took them everywhere from Papua New Guinea to Canada’s native reserves to Kosovo. Tim Goddard, now Dean of Education at the University of Prince Edward Island, continually challenged his daughter on her choices, both when she was a student at Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario, and, via regular phone calls and emails, while she served in the sweltering heat of Afghanistan. Nichola Goddard amongst the tribespeople of Papua New Guinea, 1985Whether or not he believed in the rightness of her chosen task, what mattered most to him was that Nichola live an examined life.

    Chinese Summary/中文概要: Goddard,还有她的朋友和家人都不愿意因为她的性别而显得特别突出:她和所有穿制服的男性一样强壮、能干、勇敢。她不仅是一名与战友地位平等的士兵;她是武装部队中担任最危险职位的领导人之一,炮兵部队的前线观察员。

    她又是最不可能成为士兵的人。她出生在一个自诩为左翼嬉皮士的教育家家庭,他们致力于在受压迫和饱受战争蹂躏的国家建立教育体系。Tim Goddard和Sally Goddard奉行的是“知书达理”而非“炸弹枪炮”的人生哲学,他们足迹遍布巴布亚新几内亚、加拿大本土保护区、科索沃等地。Tim Goddard是爱德华王子岛大学的教育系主任,他不断地质疑女儿所做出的选择,无论当她还子啊安大略省金斯顿皇家军事学院读书时,还是当她在酷热的阿富汗服役期间,他经常通过电话和电子邮件与她取得联系。1985年,Nichola Goddard在巴布亚新几内亚的部落居民中,不管他是否相信她所选择的任务是否正确,对他来说,最重要的是,Nichola Goddard要过着一种经过检验的生活。(LYR)
