Lord of the Nutcracker Men
0-385-72924-3
Johnny eagerly plays at war with the army of nutcracker soldiers his toymaker father whittles for him. But in 1914, Germany looms as the real enemy of Europe, and all too soon Johnny's father is swept up to fight with his British countrymen at the front in France. The letters that arrive from Johnny's dad reveal the ugly realities of combatâand the soldiers he carves and encloses begin to bear its scars. When the games of war seem to foretell his dad's real battles, Johnny thinks he possesses godlike powers over his wooden men. He fears he controls his father's fateâand the outcome of the war itself.
