Eddie's War

(2) 4-6 When we meet them in 1934, Eddie is five, Tom ten. Over the next ten years the brothers develop friendships, discover family secrets, and ponder the causes of European conflict and their own community's virulent prejudice. Tom's enlistment also unveils the nature of war. Narrated by Eddie, the book's seventy-six vignettes--beautifully phrased and vividly revealing of character--create an authentic window into the past.
