Zusammenfassung:"The age range covered, from birth to 17 years, as well as the richness of children's own writings and the breadth of Engkish, French, and German primary and secondary sources, allows readers to experience wartime childhood and adolescence from multiple, multi-national standpoints. These include: British infants inn the nursery; German children at school; French and Belgian youngsters living with the enemy in their occupied homelands; Australian boys and girls knitting socks for General Birdwood (Commander-in-Chief of the Australian Imperial Force); Girl Guides working for MI5; youthful Ukrainian Canadians wrongfully interned; German children held as prisoners of war in Silesia; teenage deckhands on the Lusitania; not to mention the rebellious underage Cossack girl who served throughout the war on the Eastern Front, as well as the youngest living recipient of the VC. ... Readers will marvel at children's courage, ingenuity, patriotism and pacifism and ... agree with the child who stated, 'What was done to us was wrong.' "--Back cover
