- Baker & Taylor
At the beginning of World War I, Frank, a Canadian, finds himself in the front line trenches soon after enlisting, and hearing the German soldiers talking he realizes they are just like him with homes and families. - Baker & Taylor
Shares the story of Frank, one of the young Canadians who answered their country's call to serve during World War I, as his youthful enthusiasm is snuffed out by the brutal conditions and the task at hand. - Perseus PublishingIn August 1914, when war breaks out in Europe, Canadians rush to join the army to fight with the Allies, expecting to be home by Christmas. Everyone thinks the war will be over in a few months. But by the time the war ends in 1918, nearly 10 million soldiers and 13 million civilians are dead. The especially brutal conditions the soldiers face are portrayed in a spare, straightforward style that neither glorifies war nor dwells on the horror. No one reading this book will come away with anything other than sorrow for the tragedy and futility of âthe war to end all wars.â Debonâs well-researched and realistic illustrations add a wealth of texture and detail to this story.
