Based on a true account of a soccergame played between the German and English troops in no-man's land on Christmas Day in 1914 during World War I, this book tells the story of four young men who have recently enlisted and have found that war is not as glamorous as they had once thought.

This special new edition with beautiful color artwork is a touching and emotive story for children and adults to treasure.
