  • "Prima Guerra mondiale. I fratelli Tommo e Charlie, di 16 e 18 anni, per evitare lo sfratto dalla casa di abitazione, sono costretti ad arruolarsi, volontari. Finiscono nell'inferno delle Ardenne, a combattere una cruenta guerra di trincea, inasprita da una disciplina crudele e assurda. Charlie viene deferito alla corte marziale e fucilato, perché si era rifiutato di tentare una impossibile sortita col suo plotone, accerchiato dai tedeschi. [Librissimi 2006]."

  • "Private Peaceful relives the life of Private Tommo Peaceful, a young First World War soldier awaiting the firing squad at dawn. During the night he looks back at his short but joyful past growing up in rural Devon: his exciting first days at school; the accident in the forest that killed his father; his adventures with Molly, the love of his life; and the battles and injustices of war that brought him to the front line. Winner of the Blue Peter Book of the Year, Private Peaceful is by the third Children's Laureate, Michael Morpurgo, award-winning author of War Horse."@en
  • "Der beste Freund: Tommo wächst mit seinem grossen Bruder Charlie anfangs des 20. Jahrhunderts in England auf. Nach dem Tod des Vaters ist Charlie der Beschützer und Freund von Tommo. Zusammen mit der Freundin Molly und dem behinderten Bruder Big Joe verbringen sie eine idyllische Kindheit, obwohl die Mutter für den Colonel arbeiten muss, um die Familie durchzubringen. Während des Ersten Weltkriegs müssen sie zur Armee. In den belgischen Schützengräben versuchen sie die Deutsche Armee zurückzudrängen. Als nach einem schweren Angriff Tommo verletzt wird, bleibt Charlie bei ihm im Schützengraben und weigert sich, dem widersinnigen Befehl des gehassten Sergeants, erneut anzugreifen, Folge zu leisten. Charlie wird in einem eilends durchgeführten Prozess zum Tode verurteilt. Tommos Erinnerungen sind ein eindrückliches Zeitdokument, das versucht, die durch ein fragwürdiges Erschiessungskommando getöteten Männer zu rehabilitieren. Ab 14 Jahren, gut, Elisabeth Tschudi-Moser."
  • "Told in the voice of Private Tommo Peaceful, the story follows twenty-four hours at the front, and captures his memories of his family and his village life--by no means as tranquil as it appeared."@en
  • "For young Private Thomas Peaceful, looking back over his childhood from the battlefields of the First World War, his memoires are full of family life deep in the countryside. Mother, his brothers Charlie and Big Joe, and their friend Molly, come vividly alive in his mind. But every moemnt Tomas spends thinking about his life, means another moment closer to something he cannot bear to think about - a time when the ware and its horrific consequences will change his life for ever."
  • "Le 25 juin 1916, le soldat Charlie Peaceful doit être exécuté pour lâcheté face à l'ennemi. Son frère, Tommo, se remémore les épisodes de leur enfance, au cours de la nuit qui précède l'exécution ; chaque chapitre s'ouvrant sur le compte-à-rebours funèbre qui scande implacablement l'attente d'une mort annoncée. Lors de la Première guerre mondiale, nombre de soldats accusés de faiblesse ou de désertion furent exécutés pour l'exemple par les armées britanniques et françaises, ce roman leur est dédié."
