Chas McGill has the second-best collection of war souvenirs in
Garmouth but wants it to be the best. When he stumbles across the
wreckage of a downed German bomber, he finds the ultimate trophy -
a working machine gun. Hiding his discovery from the local police,
Chas recruits his friends and together they build a fortress for
their prize. But war is not a game and soon both friendships and
loyalties are tested when the gang's actions have dangerous
consequences. Robert Westall wrote The Machine Gunners for his son,
Christopher, based on his own experiences during the Second World
War. A modern classic of children's fiction, it went on to win the
CILIP Carnegie Medal in 1975 and has been in print ever since.
Designed to appeal to the book lover, the Macmillan Collector's
Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved
classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and
treasure.
