A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

"That's the city of Megiddo. Armageddon will begin on the plains below."
"Maybe it just did," Cheevers said.
A novel that captures the harrowing and sometimes heartbreaking life of a soldier during World War One. Fueled by anger at the death of his brother, sixteen year old Edward enlists and abandons his father and their farm in Canada for England. After proving that he can tame any wild horse, he's sent to Palestine to battle the Turks. A trooper's horse is the key to life and death in a cavalry charge: luckily, Edward has the extraordinary Buke, his true companion. He also has tender letters from Emily, a nurse, and the camaraderie of his tent mates. As he closes in on the enemy, Edward finds that the noble vengeance he seeks is replaced by the horror of battle and the realization that he must fight not only to survive, but also, to kill.
This book explores what it's like to live, to fall in love, and to learn how to survive during a time of vast historical importance and great danger. A story of a young adult who visits the Holy Land as a soldier, a place he had only read about in the Bible.
