'The sounds, sights and smells that I experienced that day will remain with me for ever. It was my first taste of war, stripped of its false glory and romance, in all its naked, heart-breaking terribleness.'
It's 1914 and France is at war. Fourteen-year-old Pierre Clouet is desperate to help defeat the Germans, but he's too young to fight. The only way he could sign up is if he has false identity papers. So when the opportunity arises, Pierre seizes it with both hands. But the world of war is a gruesome one and Pierre's dreams of glory soon fade . . .
'Survivors' is a unique collection of fictional stories about young people caught up in some of the great conflicts and disasters. Through their eyes we experience the day-to-day hardships and dangers of living through troubled times.
