(4) YA While his older brother Hans fights proudly for the Kaiser, sixteen-year-old Moritz sees another side of the war in homefront Berlin, where he lives with his mother, a war-widow and revolutionary. While characterization is functional and historical information not always smoothly worked in, the closing days of WWI in Berlin make for an unusual setting, well evoked by the clear writing.
