Too Young to Fight: Memories from Our Youth During World War II - Hardcover

"Too Young to Fight is a beautifully designed work. It is the kind of book that is delightful to hold and turn the beautifully printed manila pages decorated with pictures of the authors as children, letters and other archival material. Thoughtful young people between the ages of 10 and 15 might like to discover this book themselves. Others might find the complex material easier to unlock with the help of a teacher -- or better yet a grandparent, who can add tales of their own. This is a book to value year-round, not just in November. - The Standard

While any recollection of wartime will be filled with tales of the men who returned without limbs, or without their minds, the autobiographical pieces of Too Young to Fight relate the daily life of children, who, after all are just kids living like kids. --- Books in Canada"

A nostalgic anthology of recollections on WWII includes first-hand observations by now well-known North American writers, educators, and film producers who were then old enough to remember this extraordinary period in American history, but not old enough to be sent into battle.
