Turned away from the Royal Canadian Air Force for his apparent
youth and frailty, Farley Mowat joined the infantry in 1940. The
young second lieutenant soon earned the trust of the soldiers under
his command, and was known to bend army rules to secure a stout
drink, or find warm -- if nonregulation -- clothing. But when Mowat
and his regiment engaged with elite German forces in the mountains
of Sicily, the optimism of their early days as soldiers was
replaced by despair. With a naturalist's eyes and ears, Mowat takes
in the full dark depths of war; his moving account of military
service, and the friends he left behind, is also a plea for peace.
