Colonel, Brian Collins, U.S. Army, Federal Marshal Tim Fallon and Dr.Michael Shea all born in 1946 and representative members of the War Baby Generation are introduced in the opening chapters of the novel, the year all three men turn fifty. The murder of an Army officer and her New York City Police Detective lover, bring Brian, his two childhood friends, and those important to, their past and present lives, together again, in a literary thriller played out in places like Fort Bragg, North Carolina, New York City, New Jersey and Honduras. Behind the media accounts of the war against crime by municipalities where police commanders publically account (Comstat) for the rise and fall of crime in their precincts, and the precision and gadgetry of military smart bombs, behind the strategies and tactics of the Department of Defense, there are people, up and down the chain of command, good and bad, members of paramilitary and military organizations, the rank and file with their own personal drives, ambitions, needs, dark and light sides. War Babies is a story about three of them, drawn together by a murder which connects all three and the people important to them. Metaphorically, War Babies is not without a necessary degree of infant mortality. Death, destruction, complication and intrigue are character driven and serve to intensify and realistically portray the story lives of the characters. War Babies is about evolved characters coming to terms with themselves, their partners and a world that the baby boomer generation largely created themselves. Having spent twenty-six years, in one part of my life in places like Europe, Central America and the United States both active and reserve in the Army, where I began as a Private and retired as a Major and written, among other things, Of Cops and Priests and Fact and Fiction, I think War Babies mirrors the reality of police procedure, military protocol and every day characters.

Blinded by his love for her, he never sees the hatred she really feels for him and their newborn son until it is too late. There is more to the Vietnam experience than our sadness and loss. Secrets were produced by this war; secrets that were rejected, tormented, abandoned and left to die. The secrets are the war babies, the children of war who became victims. They know devastation, loss and sadnesssuch that you cannot imagine.

Chowdhury describes the journeys to Canada of the first contingent of 15 “war babies” that were embraced by their adoptive parents when they reached their new homes in Canada in July 1972 breaking the racial boundaries and re-defining what a family could be. Products of one of the most outrageous crimes, these babies were conceived by Bangladeshi women victims of sexual crimes committed by the Pakistani military personnel in “Occupied Bangladesh.” Since it was a case of enforced pregnancy through penile penetration against the will of the victims, the “undesirable” newborns were seen as “disposable” or “throw-away” babies by both the birth mothers and the Bangladeshi society. Through sharp analysis, Chowdhury has illustrated with poignant vignettes an important fact of life – that human beings desire and need close relationships. Using archival records International Social Service, International Planned Parenthood Federation, Library and Archives Canada, Department of External Affairs and Manpower and Immigration in Canada and the Department of Labour and Welfare of the Government of Bangladesh, Missionaries of Charity and the Families For Children, Chowdhury examined the well-being of the war babies and their parents through the years with anecdotes of their rearing, nurturing, and becoming adults in Canada, the country they call “home.”

The figure of the wartime child in the mid-twentieth century unsettles and disturbs. This book employs a range of material – biographical, literary and historical – to chart some of the surprising and unanticipated crossovers between women’s writing and early psychoanalysis in the years of the Second World War and the decades before and after. This volume includes examples of children’s adventure fiction, as well as works written for adult audiences and important and previously unrecognized similarities are noted. The war was a disruptive influence in the lives of all who lived through it. Although active self-censorship is observed in the behaviour and attitudes of adults at this time, this book demonstrates how fictional children are able to articulate feelings such as anxiety and fear that adults were under pressure to conceal or to repress and at times, the figure of the wartime child becomes a surrogate for the writer herself or her suppressed fears and anxiety. When peace returned, this study finds women writers quick to identify and communicate a discomfiting new ambivalence between parents and children.
