1942: Growing Up in Wartime

by William Burr

1942 was the first full year of World War II when the entire planet dealt with starvation, death, and political insanity. Join Billy, an American boy of twelve as he grows up in a US at war. Meet Klaus, a fourteen year old German boy who goes to war and is captured in his first moments of combat. Follow them through an unlikely friendship that lasts well into adulthood and deals with the fears and doubts of young minds trapped in the mishaps of adults. 1942 is a different look at POW's and how it affected the minds of the young in the last world war.
