It's World War II - 15 year old Dieter lives in Germany and 16 year old Spence lives in Utah in the USA. Both are anxious to defend their own countries in this wide-ranging and complex war being fought across Europe. They both soon learn the reality and ugliness of war, no matter which side of the battle one is on. The story is told in the third person and clearly explains both boys' points of view, which makes it easy for the reader to understand why each young man feels compelled to be a solider in this war. As an American exposed to the American point of view on World War II all of my life, I found it interesting to read how a young German looked at the situation. I'm not a big fan of war stories, but this is more than just a war story. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to everyone.Reviewed by Mrs. Dunaski
