The Enemy, War demands an enemy: Two khaki-clad soldiers peer out of holes, torn through the page as if by bullets. They are separated by a large expanse of white on either side of the gutter. One soldier defends his position: ´´The enemy is there but I have never seen him. Every morning, I shoot at him. Then he shoots at me.´´ They are both hungry and exhausted. But the other deserves to be. He is a beast. At least that is what the war manual says. Yet neither makes the first move. They wait, in an endless stalemate. Finally, one soldier sneaks out at night, ready to attack. But so does the other, and instead, they swap places. The enemy´s foxhole is exactly the same. Why are they fighting? They don´t know. Cali and Bloch break war down to its smallest - human - component. The powerful text and loose ink drawings are as spare as the foxholes they portray and leaven the weighty subject with an accessible irony. Though too metaphorical for the very young, middle-grade readers may well tuck away a small piece of this book to save for the future. (Picture book. 8-12) (Kirkus Reviews), gebundene Ausgabe, 01.11.2007.

We see something that looks like a desert. There are two holes. In the two holes are two soldiers. THEY ARE ENEMIES.So begins this extraordinary, highly contemporary picture book. Inspired by historical events, it speaks to adults, yet is also accessible to a child of primary school age. Set in a war not unlike World War I, the tale is narrated by one of the soldiers, who tells of his loneliness, deprivations, fears, irritations, and, finally, his resolve to end his part in the war. In exploring his own emotions about a conflict seemingly without end or reason, he comes to suspect his enemy is not the inhuman barbarian he has been warned about, but may just be a frightened, tired victim of propaganda like himself.

Published in association with Amnesty International, this book is an ideal conversation starter about how conflict and violence can give way to peace, compassion, and understanding., Hardcover, Label: Wilkins Farago Pty Ltd, Wilkins Farago Pty Ltd, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2013-10-01, Studio: Wilkins Farago Pty Ltd, Verkaufsrang: 2474521.
