My book consists of true factual events that have occurred over the years, from WW1 and WW2 to the present day. Many of the people's war-time experiences that I have written about are quite horrendous. However, for the sake of future generations, fully understanding how terrible war is and the atrocities that were carried out by every nation, they should be made aware that it could happen at any time to them. Also, the brave men and women who fought in WW1 and WW2 should never be forgotten. Whatever happens, we should always try to rise above whatever crisis comes our way, otherwise we are a lost cause and civilisation. - Elisa Wilkinson
