A Welcome War - A Family Series, #4

*  World War 2 was the most welcome and alluring war of all time.    * A ten-year-old lad begins the saga of his next five years influenced more by military strategy, political power and bathos than by parents or mentors.* As a means of realising how people react to adverse situations, and in discovering history and geography, he finds the lessons graphic indeed. To put it in his own words, "It beats schoolwork, hands down!"
