(1) YA This World War II novel tells the parallel stories of two young soldiers fighting on opposite sides of the conflict--a paratrooper from Utah and a Hitler Youth who joins the German army. Spence and Dieter's paths cross briefly on a snow-covered Belgian hill in a scene both compassionate and tragic. Hughes tells their tales in assured prose that's harrowing without being exploitive.
