This edition is in Hebrew. Youthful, enthusiastic, they become soldiers. But despite what they have learned, they break into pieces under the first bombardment in the trenches. And as horrible war plods on year after year, Paul holds fast to a single vow: to fight against the principles of hate that meaninglessly pits young men of the same generation but different uniforms against each other --- if only he can come out of the war alive
There is not much to say - not about a book which everyone know, or should know. This story ought be mandatory reading for every child, and again for politicians and soldiers before they take up their work.
