About This Book

A boy in a crowded border town seeks help from an overburdened American consul and soon becomes entangled with local scouts and refugees as diplomatic tension erupts into armed conflict. The narrative follows daring reconnaissance and transport missions, river crossings under searchlights, sudden bombardment and the destruction of a railway bridge, and efforts to tend the wounded after raids and skirmishes. Action-driven episodes emphasize quick decisions, close escapes, and the practical challenges of moving people and information amid rising hostilities. Through a sequence of set-piece scenes, the book traces shifting front lines, civilian dislocation, and the small-scale bravery of those caught at the outbreak of war.
